Someone told me that they would never join Mastodon because they can’t buy followers for it.

And they just said it like so nonchalantly. As if everybody bought followers, so they weren’t doing anything wrong.

I told them that it was probably a good idea that they weren’t on Mastodon anyway.

You owe me one Mastodon.

People need to know that the Fediverse's engagement is like 100x more impactful than Twitter's engagement.

But instead, there's this weird perception that there's no reach here.

Ha!

Don't be fooled by Fediverse follower counts. Just don't.
