Top-level
 @codl This reminds me of what @chriswere said in his PeerTube channel at some point, "if I made a speech and fifty people came to see it, I'd be floored". But I think this attitude comes from the difference between the way people interact with content here compare to mainstream social media. 3 comments
@codl In mainstream social media on the other hand people just sort of scroll away, a lot of them don't pay a ton of attention to the content they are viewing. Most they usually do is drop a like and move on to the next thing, and sometimes they don't even bother with a like. This is what makes the large numbers on big platforms so worthless. You can gather a ton of views and likes but only around 3% of that actually wants to have a discussion with you. @codl Because for most people the content is just "kinda cool". It's neat to see it pop up when they are mindlessly scrolling to pass time but often it isn't a subject they are super passionate about. |

@codl Our network is divided into specialized communities, so when somebody wants to talk about a certain topic there is a good chance instance members are invested in the topic so they are more willing to engage in a conversation with the original poster, and when they boost it the topic arrives to other people in different instances who are also interested in the subject.
