Again and again, I have to say, Mastodon has better engagement than Twitter, BlueSky, Threads, Facebook, Post.news or Reddit
@palafo totally.
I don't have particularly notable accounts on Twitter or Masto, but had more followers on Twitter than here. Similar engagement though, and usually higher quality.
Like there's no feeling of "oh God, what now?" with an unread notificaiton here.
Must admit I'd a long running interest in BlueSky but once I made the shift here I never followed up on getting an account - so can't compare to there.
