I am not sure why Mastodon is the only platform I am on where ending a post with "I am not interested in debating this" gets dozens of replies, many of which are, in fact, trying to debate this.

@evacide At least for some of those other platforms, it may a sign they're dying from lack of non-automated participation.

I noticed after I came to Mastodon, it soon became the only place people would respond, even when the same post was made on the Birb too. I eventually gave up cross-posting to the Birb because there were no longer signs of life there. Since you have a much bigger audience, that's probably why it took you longer to notice.

@KO6YQ Twitter is not one of the platforms that I post to and therefor not part of the observation I was making.

I've been on Xitter, Facebook, Instagram, Substack, etc.

I think there is some validity to the theory that you are getting more human engagements here in general than on the other platforms-- or at least, that's a part of the reason.

My Likes/RTs/comments tend to be 8-15 times higher here than on the other platforms, even when I have had far more followers there than here. They aren't necessarily disagreeing, but they are at least showing they read it.

Would you say that your interactions in general are higher in number, or just the debating?
