How do you look at the development of Mastodon? After a promising start, the number of active users does not seem to be increasing any further, and the platform is being overtaken left and right by other social platforms that are able to attract more users in a shorter time. What is the outlook for Mastodon?
@noelreports something to keep in mind: there are a lot of bots on twitter. A high follower count doesn’t necessarily mean your posts are seen by a lot of people. Notice how much engagement get here vs those other platforms. That’s an indicator that followers here are mostly actual people.
@rocky @noelreports This. When you post normal, informative posts, there's not much engagement. We don't need to boost your posts with useless comments to game the algorithm. But we do see them and reply when it makes sense (like now).
