Today Elon changed the birdhouse on Twitter's homepage to a doge meme and everyone has a joke ready but almost no one seems ready to leave. There is simply no amount of punishment that Twitter users are not prepared to absorb

I think everyone is sticking around mainly due to inertia, but I get so agitated by people whose stock in trade is still dunking on Elon on Twitter all day. At the end the day it only serves to prop Twitter up. The joke is absolutely and literally on you

It's still a simple matter of eyeballs. Low engagement of 400 million vs higher better quality engagement of 10 mil.

It will continue to shift, but getting a big name to move would be game changing. (Does a .swift domain exist yet?)

Mastodon needs journos posting here, and a few more celebrities who engage others.

Need a Black mastodon.

There's that's reasonably active, but we need more outreach as well.

Fediverse Report

@pixelpusher220 @caseynewton I always recommend this series of posts to indicate that engagement is much closer than you might think calckey.social/notes/9cw5gry5k

Calckey SocialMartin Holland (@fingolas)I wrote my first summary of @heiseonline@social.heise.de on #Mastodon almost two months ago: Time for an update. One thing in advance, even if it has become noticeably quieter here in the #Fediverse, the numbers remain pretty stable: Visits via Mastodon are still slightly below that via #Twitter, but as a reminder, I can only compare visits generated via our accounts on #Mastodon with all visits over #Twitter. So the actual numbers are even closer together. (@heiseonline@social.heise.de on Twitter has 246.000 Followers, on Mastodon it's 45.500) On the first graph I have summed up the weekly entries via Mastodon vs. Twitter since the #Mastodon account went live at the beginning of November. The steady growth is partly due to the fact that only articles shared both on Mastodon and Twitter are included, and their number has increased. Overall, more visits come via Mastodon than via #Bing or #Xing. The engagement (#boosts plus #likes, no #comments) with posts of @heiseonline@social.heise.de stagnates, but remains significantly above that on Twitter. I find only four posts from heise-accounts on Twitter in this time that have been shared at least 50 times, on Mastodon it's a whole 125 (!). At the same time, nothing really goes #viral on #Mastodon, the upward swings of visits are significantly higher on Twitter. A new initiative that shows noticeable effects is #Verpasstodon (something like "missed-o-don"): Under this hashtag @heiseonline@social.heise.de re-shares on weekends the most clicked articles of the past week. And they get klicked noticeably again. There is no criticism directed at the practice, the hashtag can be muted without missing anything else. Despite such ideas, 89% of the visits via #Mastodon come on the first two days vs. 81% over Twitter. A few more numbers: In total, @heiseonline@social.heise.de has more than 122,000 interactions (#Boosts and #Likes, overview in the second image "Interaktionen"), per article that's an average of more than 26. About 4700 articles were shared, more than 500 of them have more than 50 interactions. More than 1000 each: https://mastodon.social/@heiseonline/109550376533582612 https://mastodon.social/@heiseonline/109670205634915816 Follower numbers of @heiseonline@social.heise.de grow very slowly, but the speed has increased since the Twitter account has a link to the Mastodon-account. @heiseonline@social.heise.de is now the largest German-language media-account, slightly in front of @tazgetroete@mastodon.social. In the USA, there is a larger one with @ProPublica@newsie.social, but a few regional media are particularly active (#Newstodon). The third picture shows visits via Mastodon and Twitter over the last 80 days. Hope this is interesting for english-speaking accounts, too: @fediversereport@mastodon.social @fediverseobserver@fediverse.one @fediversenews@venera.social @atomicpoet@mastodon.social @mmasnick@mastodon.social @jeffjarvis@mastodon.social @Gargron@mastodon.social (📎3)
