A polite reminder to people on here who like to proclaim:

"At this point if you're still on Twitter you are [some variant of horrible person]"

If you are a small creator - artist, writer, whatever - then right now Mastodon DOES NOT deliver equivalent reach-based income. People do not tip as much and the lack of QT significantly damages creator reach.

Being able to forsake income is a privilege. Your options are not someone else's options. Please be open-minded to that.

@garius really useful thoughts, thank you. hope it's OK to tag in the main mod etc of my home instance - @jaz - as it's worth discussing...

(personally I also think getting notifications about reactions/replies to other's posts you've reposted would be a positive thing for engagement, or at least I'm unaware of the downsides to that, but obs not a 'big' account at all...)

@mzdt @garius couldn't agree more. I have my own opinion of Twitter and Musk but I don't expect everyone to share it.
