 @dangillmor I wonder whether their employment contracts (or engagement if freelance) require them to maintain a deadbird presence and to promote their work product there. Clues usually arrive last at manglement levels. @dangillmor I keep posting a willingness on TwiX to help people move to Mastodon (or invite them to Bluesky), and I haven’t gotten a single taker either. It’s demoralizing, honestly. People don’t seem to care about the toxic atmosphere at TwiX. Either that or they like it. Meanwhile, I can’t get ANY traction of note with my Mastodon accounts. Engagement is slow-growing at Bluesky but it dwarfs the engagement I get at Mastodon or PixelFed (very few followers and almost no replies/discussion)😞 Jump into conversations. That is how I just found you. I'm not a huge sports fan myself, but I boost sports so that people can find their people. Also have a pinned post on my page with people hashtagging their favorite teams. @Hey_Beth @dangillmor Thanks. I’ll keep trying. My discovery skills haven’t been so great on here, yet, I’ll admit.  @BrooklynBuckets @Hey_Beth @dangillmor Have you posted and pinned an Intro? That's really helpful to those of us who discover accounts like yours, we can boost your intro and hopefully a bunch of #NBA and #basketball fans show up. Also, hashtag readily. #Brooklyn #sports #WNBA #NewYorkLiberty #NYC #BrooklynNets all help! @ai6yr @Hey_Beth @dangillmor I try to hashtag in most of my posts, but I should really post intros on my accounts and include one for which teams I follow (beyond the main two the account is built around). My sports interests are pretty broad. I guess I never posted an intro beyond my bio at TwiX so I wasn’t sure what the difference between the two would be here either (other than @Hey_Beth ‘s suggestion I list the many teams I root for). Thanks everyone. @BrooklynBuckets @Hey_Beth @dangillmor For sure... and it does take some folks boosting for people to see your account, etc. (which is hard to do starting with only a few followers, of course!). That's why the hashtags are useful. Also set your account to be indexed/shown in searches (new feature in Mastodon v4.2.0). Oliver Darcy started a thread on Threads two days ago. It seems to be pulling many of the journalists over from Twitter. I'm not journalists that have clung to the dead bird are open to building out on two different platforms. If they could fathom that, they would have left long ago. @Leisureguy @dangillmor That made me laugh "Perhaps they think that things are getting better." @Leisureguy @dangillmor Being short on time to learn new things might be a factor. Getting intimate with all the settings will take time. I have set up dedicated Firefox profile for mastodon and I have a bookmark folder for mastodon users with sub folders with profiles and this means I can customize my reading experience using a system I am familiar with. I reduce mouse clicking whenever i can and I recommend the Vimium plugin for super-fast browser use. @Leisureguy goes in the "incoming folder" |
@dangillmor maybe reach out to their head offices?
