My posts are utterly unseen on Twitter.

I get tons of great conversation on Mastodon.

Somehow I'm heading for double the connections here. In addition each Mastodon connection is worth huge numbers of Twitter followers for interaction & reach.

I've run tests.

@atomicpoet 100 percent agree. So sad that so many folks gave Mastodon a 2 day trial before returning to Elmo. I do feel bad though for the good journalist that aren’t so big that feel the need to stay there for traffic to their newsletters… I get we all gotta eat but that really sucks.

What I am noticing is it is much more likely to get interaction from "high follow" and my ordinary account here than it ever was on twitter.

Not just Mike I have many examples now.

@atomicpoet @mmasnick Youʼve done pretty well yourself, Chris. Been following you since the 2010s here.
I havenʼt done as well since my posts (by choice) arenʼt focused like yours and Mikeʼs.

@atomicpoet @mmasnick Well, there is what he writes. I kinda think of that as his special sauce.

@atomicpoet Such a good example. I'm delighted to follow @mmasnick here and had never even come across him over there. (I quit Twitter last December.)

@atomicpoet @mmasnick And writing well on subjects of relevance.

@atomicpoet @mmasnick besides famelust is so 2001

@atomicpoet @mmasnick I'm having problems to get connections with my Spanish written toots, not so much problem when engaging in English. I think the Spanish people haven't came already to the Fediverse.

I think the crucial part of it is that he's also generated consistent valuable microcontent.

Some Twitter faces I've seen here have just been firing off a handful of very niche micro-blog statements ("I went for a walk this morning, it was snowy") or publicity copy ("my comedy tour is starting, dates and places on my website!") and expecting an audience to engage.

Mas.to's local feed (to a lesser extent now) was filled with that content from randos - it's not valuable.
