I'm desperately trying to get off of Twitter but the #gamedev world (particularly the indie game dev world) seems deeply entrenched there.

I'm trying to build my network of game developers on here. Please share your suggestions on who I should follow! Thank you!

@prime As a marketing platform I just think the reach Twitter gives makes it too good to give up in a business sense. As much as I'm sure so many devs wanna GTFO, bills gotta get paid, sales gotta get made and fedi is... Pretty unpopular actually. Not unusable, but the userbase is much smaller.

@mdstevens0612 @prime I've been seeing people (from other industries) say the click-through and conversions they get from twitter are now negligible, and even Mastodon manages to outperform it (along with Threads/Bsky, but those aren't as unexpected)

@Kiloku @mdstevens0612

I suspect this to be true as well; I know tweets still get "engagement" but do they result in actual plays/wishlists/sales? Hard to say.

I don't think there can be any argument that the *quality* of Twitter engagements has plummeted. It's pretty obvious that the platform is rife with bots.

@prime Just curious, if the engagement you get is questionable, what keeps you on Twitter? What benefit do you get out of it?
