Mike McCue, @shoq yes I’ve noticed the same lack of engagement on Threads. My Mastodon posts get approx 50x better engagement. I think there are several factors driving this. One biggie is how their For You algorithm works vs how the Mastodon home timeline works. I also think the simple boost mechanism is quite powerful on Mastodon. But most importantly Mastodon just seems to have a stronger sense of community., Dec 8, 11:07 AM, mike@flipboard.social

I agree on all points. But, and this is a new point, it always troubles me that there is so little experimentation on all these platforms. With a few exceptions (yours included), we’re still offered the same social media tools we had in year one of Twitter. That was almost 17 years ago. Imagine if other techs evolved that slowly? We’d probably still be heating our homes with vacuum tubes :)
