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

Yeah, I've seen the same thing over and over again, first and second hand
-
MattJ
You've seen the Snikket Twitter/Mastodon follower graphs? :)
-
ralphm
So Tooters are more trigger happy? :-D
-
MattJ
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.

defaults matter a lot :)
-
singpolyma
Could be. Chronological has always been the default for me, but probably because my account is so old
-
jonas’
does chronological imply complete?
-
jonas’
I never used twitter, I have no clue.
-
singpolyma
So far as I know
-
ralphm
Yes, if it is not complete that's a bug.
-
ralphm
And unlike Facebook, your choice doesn't revert back after time.
-
ralphm
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.

-

emus AFAIK, views are not counted in Mastodon, only on Twitter.
-
debacle
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
-
ralphm
I think statistically there's not much to be gotten from these numbers, as they are too low. But any attention is great.
