I continuously hear from ex-Twitter people that they had some thousands of followers, but that engagement on Mastodon is much higher on a per-follower basis.
Maybe Twitter just had more bots?
Like, a lot more.
It’s not like anyone’s checked those 40,000 accounts.
@Andonome@slyflourish I think one major factor is that on (all?) Fediverse platforms, people that follow you actually get all of your posts in their feed, which didn’t happen on Twitter, even for folks that used the “chronological” timeline.

People never interact with posts they don’t see.
@Andonome @rpg it was the algorithm. Signing up to see someone’s feed didn’t show you their posts.
