@timbray @kathhayhoe Aren't you both forgetting that Mastodon is (despite it's name) not a monolithic instance, but a network of instances that might or might not share content so what you see and who sees you depends on what instance you are on and which instances that instance federates with? So your milage varies? Posting on a science-instance might get more responses from critical thinkers? And perhaps some instances are full or deniers?
