“Nobody’s on Mastodon, it’s dying” sir my mama’s pretty quilt can get 300 likes and a bajillion boosts on here in no time with no algorithm I think Mastodon is doing JUST FINE #mastodon #JohnMastodon
@grumpasaurus ooooh I didn’t know about that hashtag, thank you
@grumpasaurus I will be making that hashtag a thing from now on
@ZenobiaVayne I didn't know either I made it up and didn't check if it were real
@ZenobiaVayne It's funny, I'm on a few platforms and the ones without Algorithms like Mastodon get me most of the views.

@ZenobiaVayne when I need dopamine I just post bikes and it’s all there for me, reliably and joyfully!

Hmm, just this week I found a Insta user complaining about having over 10k follows but with little engagement in the tens to low hundreds*.

* Low Engagement from a 10k follower accounts on Instagram

My anecdotal data is when I left Twitter, mostly, I doubled my follower account here on the fediverse in 1/2 the time vs. when I was on Twitter. There are just more _actual_ real flesh and blood users here vs. Twitter per their engagement here vs there in my experience.

I've also seen a TON of stories about #MetaBots and how their #ZombieInternet over there is going, much like #Twitter, as a BotNet experience, goes, #enshittification wise. 💩🤖🔍👀

@infosec_jcp the zombie internet rabbithole is so fascinating to learn about

@ZenobiaVayne

Indeed. Stories about it grow, daily.

Use cases are playing out as expected... Especially PR wise for the platforms and places the zombies are at .. posting... To other zombies...

Not on #caturday 👉😻

@ZenobiaVayne 90% of the people claiming this are on BlueSky or Nostr, which combined are less than half the size of Masto, let alone the Fedi proper (not counting Threads, because they're like 10% fedirated)
