#Bluesky or #Mastodon, I'm happy that people are leaving Twitter more post-election.

Just like I did with #threads I felt it's important to try it before I criticize it.

Bluesky is nice, but feels very stripped down from Mastodon. It's not really decentralized though and I'm having a hard time figuring out who to follow.

I'm genuinely confused why people see it as more "user-friendly" compared to Mastodon. The "discover feed" feels a bit "white noise". But early days... Will keep an eye.

@stux @Gargron hells yeah! Just really brought it home for me. I've also got nearly 200K followers on IG and story & post engagement has absolutely tanked.

IG is a fine platform to watch videos from random people now, but it's not the home to post & share anymore.

#MASTODON vs #THREADS Engagement Experiment

26x followers! Bupkis.

Follower counts & the active users on a platform **DO. NOT. MATTER.** if the #algorithm doesn't bless your posts.

Let your creative friends know, Threads (and #Twitter / X of course) are not the solution.
