The difference between a closed, algorithmically-curated silo like Twitter and the fediverse.
Same post.
Twitter: ~43K “followers”, 8 boosts, 58 likes
Fediverse: ~8.43K followers, 57 boosts, 106 likes
Your thousands of “followers” on Twitter mean nothing because the algorithm (i.e., Twitter, Inc.) decides who gets to hear you.
@aral
That is to say.. I do not support in anyway the idea that mastodon is a twitter "replacement".
@keith I’m forwarding from here. I still have people there that see my tweets who are not here (members of European Parliament, etc.) When I feel it’s no longer useful, I’ll close it down. Does that make sense?
