I keep seeing articles about Mastodon slumps, and journalists going back to Twitter. Is it fair to say, that maybe Mastodon isn't for journalists, or brands, or even people who want large accounts? Maybe Mastodon is true social media, for people who want to interact and discuss, not be influenced, sold to, or manipulated with cult style tactics and followings. There will always be groups who dislike the idea of the people controlling their own inputs, people who don't like the idea of accessible Administration, and people who don't like the idea that if we don't like a space that we can just move to another one, or even create our own. Individualism is scary to the kind of people who thrive on complacency, and not challenging the status quo.
@RickiTarr I've accumulated over 500 'friends' on Facebook over the years, but am only followed by 35. I mainly just use it for following a few specific groups but I still do post occasionally. And have mentioned/promoted Mastodon but as far as I know none have migrated here.
@ravensview I tried to get people on Mastodon, some came over, but a lot didn't, I still have a Twitter account mostly to talk to those people.
