I’m surprised that while my Bluesky account has grown by 8000 followers — DOUBLED to 16k+ — in just the last week since the election, my Mastodon count hasn’t changed at all.

Is Mastodon not seen as an alternative to Twitter?

Or is my account hard to find for those not following me?

Honestly curious.

Mastodon/Fediverse is functional, but not sexy.

BlueSky is pretty on the eyes and easy/accessible.

Most of the people with large followings on Twitter want to keep that wherever they go, and Mastodon doesn't make transition slick.
