@warmapper I think Mastodon took off already. What's missing for you?

@Malik It's not as user-friendly and I've had a huge drop off in interactions. Down something like 80-90%, I don't think many of the followers here are active anymore unfortunately.

@warmapper Interesting. I hear mostly the absolute opposite: much more interaction on here with way less followers than on Twitter –because no bots.

@Malik When people first started moving here the interaction was much better than Twitter but the interaction rate is less than half what it is on Twitter now. It may be something to do with the type of content I post though.

Definitely don't have the bot problem here though which is a big plus.

@Malik @warmapper Definitely not your issue. A lot of people go to Twitter for news, so unless most journalists/content providers leave, most people will complain and still stay there. Unfortunately, Mastodon’s UI is another issue. The lack of a good recommendation algorithm also hurts engagement.

@warmapper @Malik Many won't interact, but that doesn't mean they're not interested in the content. FWIW, I wouldn't have known what to interact with/for? It's a daily map...

@derickr @Malik Completely fair, and to be honest I wouldn't be giving much engagement for these slow updates if I was following me😂 .

It's just that engagement is the only way I can 'track' how active followers are relative to other social media accounts.
