I’ve got an account with about 20 followers on BlueSky that generates real engagement with nearly every post. But on X/Twitter? With over 2000 followers, I might as well be shouting into the void. Impressions hover around 30, that’s about 1.5% of my audience! #SocialMedia #Engagement

To get more visibility, it seems you need to buy the blue checkmark or a premium subscription. I’ve heard LinkedIn can boost your impressions too, but I haven’t shelled out for that either. #Monetization #LinkedIn

We are allowing algorithms to control our digital voices. The idea that my reach depends on paying for features feels like a tax on my self-expression.

It discourages organic engagement and sidelines smaller creators, prioritizing monetization over meaningful connections. #Creators #Community #DigitalRights #Algorithms

It's crazy how much power these centralized algorithms have over content visibility. On Mastodon, my posts are received by 100% of my followers without the gatekeeping. #Fediverse #Mastodon

That's one reason I’m building https://www.vocalcat.com. We need a space where small creators can thrive without altering their voice to fit algorithms. We lost a battle when we gave that control away! #Networking #Collaboration

Yep, I've always had more engagement here, and my follower count grew much quicker too, and eclipsed my Twitter follower count in just 6 months, and I'd been on Twitter for 6 YEARS.
