Funny observation:
"Toot" by XSF about the summit: 7 re-"toots", and 19 favourites.
"Tweet" with same content: 2 re-"tweets", 4 likes.

You've seen the Snikket Twitter/Mastodon follower graphs? :)

So Tooters are more trigger happy? :-D

I think it's a combination of factors. I think Twitter is much larger, so you're competing with more things for attention. But also people on the Fediverse are also aligned with our projects more than the average person on Twitter.

I don't really understand why people complain about "the algorithm" in Twitter. You can, and have been able to for a very long time, just look at the stream of people you follow in chronological order.
pep.
Defaults matter though.

plus doesnt it have promoted tweets and ads in there?

unless you have subscription

Literally always since there was a Twitter yes

defaults matter a lot :)
singpolyma
Could be. Chronological has always been the default for me, but probably because my account is so old

does chronological imply complete?

I never used twitter, I have no clue.

So far as I know

Yes, if it is not complete that's a bug.

And unlike Facebook, your choice doesn't revert back after time.

Also, yes, there are ads in there. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Yes, there are alternatives, but they, too, come with a cost.

However, I would like to see the basic view comparision too
debacle
emus AFAIK, views are not counted in Mastodon, only on Twitter.

Never had a Twitter account, I'm only looking at the web page (or nitter.net).
emus
yes
but twitter was always used to be very unresponsive

I think statistically there's not much to be gotten from these numbers, as they are too low. But any attention is great.
