Okay, well I post my stupid little thoughts and I know for a fact it made 16 real people smile.
Why do you need more than that? You don’t want a social network you want a marketing platform. And that’s fine, but don’t confuse the two or pretend that you want one when you want the other.
@nepi
There's also a shortsightedness here, like they're so used to not having choices to make they imagine themselves to be passive observers. "Not enough people have joined Fediverse, therefore I will not join Fediverse."If just a fraction of those people would make accounts to cross-post, we might have the volume to get the kind of engagement they're asking for.
But also a chunk of the claim that there aren't many people here is patently not true. We have a fraction of what proprietary hellholes like Twitter and Bluesky have, but we do have a very large number (millions) of people, to the point my timeline is always full of art and it's easy to wander around and just find new people, and they are real people, because we have no incentive to let our numbers be inflated by bots.

@nepi Twitter had more people but didnt have more reach. It even feels lonelier knowing that you post something when the traffic is higher and still noone interacts with your posts. At least here i dont have that kind of feeling.

@nepi Don't mind me passing by. This just happened to end up on my timeline courtesy of that little 'boost' icon.

@daedalouseros @nepi This isn't a great marketing statement.

@daedalouseros @nepi This isn't a great marketing statement.
@mrgrumpymonkey@mastodon.social @nepi@tech.lgbt that depends entirely on what you're selling, and who you're selling it to!
Sure, for artists or people who's business depends on reach, numbers matter. But that's not who the original post is talking about.
For the average user, the quality of connections made is far more important than the number of them.
And so I reiterate: quality over quantity. -
Very true. Mastodon and other fediverse platforms have great communities. As an experience, it's the diametrical opposite of enshittification.

@nepi *THIS!*
Granted, even if someone wants to market on the Fediverse, there are tools like #FediSuite for all those that want genuine interaction with a community and not merely posting #ads…
- Needless to say people here want *real interaction* and not merely posts that won't get replied upon when someone asks questions…

@nepi
You mentioned the platform you're on, within a broad statement. This already gave extra boosts on Twitter predictably (so much so, that I sometimes intentionally left it out).
(Was tempted to boost also, I like your thought) -
