Renata 🇨🇦🐈Newsflash: boring white guy thinks fedi is bad because people here are not interested in his AI content
Anyway, Happy First Contact Day everyone.
I don’t even TRY (not my goal in life, I use mastodon for fun) and never had a problem with “engagement”
I have said this before:
A lot of journalists, influencers, etc have a problem with fedi because they don’t bother understanding the format
They’re used to platforms that work like this:
- share hot take
- receive likes
The fedi works differently:
- Engage with the community
- Connect with like minded folks regularly so they see you as a peer
- Eventually share your hot take
- Get responses
- Interact
And there you have it. That’s how you make friends instead of just followers.
Estarriol, Terrorist Dragonthey don't want friends, they want drones and followers and worship, and the fediverse does not really do the cult of personality.
