Imagine if every tech bro is converted into an animated dancing raccoon and made 10x less dumb. AI will do this. Huge opportunity here to disrupt Y Combinator.

@antonyjohnston Your post makes for an interesting engagement exercise, seeing as you posted this at the same time on Twitter and Mastodon.

8 hrs later:
229 boosts and 438 likes on your instance (mastodon.social)
137 boosts and 19 likes on my instance (hachyderm.io)
7 RTs and 26 likes on Twitter

Like many have commented (e.g. @gruber), there is something REALLY wrong with Twitter's engagement recently...

@leoncowle @gruber You’re not wrong, but also worth noting that @jsnell boosted this post to his many Masto followers several hours ago, while on twitter he only just RT’d it. I rarely get big reach in anything unless it’s boosted by famous friends, tbh 😉

@antonyjohnston @leoncowle @jsnell How is a boost here more than an RT by a different name?

@gruber @antonyjohnston @leoncowle @jsnell Jason *just* RT’d it (at that time); but he boosted it hours earlier. (Time, not terminology.)

@glennf @gruber @leoncowle @jsnell Yeah, Glenn has the right of it. Although hours later it still hasn’t performed on twitter anything like it has here, which reinforces Leon’s point
