@CarolynStirling It works well. If you only allow celebrities, certain classes of journalist, etc. onto the platform as creators and the 'regular people' to consume until you're 'stable enough for capacity testing' you build in a group that has a head start. Worked for Gmail, Facebook, etc. People enjoy feeling exclusive, look at how quickly they moved away from the checkmark once it was obtainable by 'regular' people. @atomicpoet @fediversenews

This is so true.
Once Twitter’s Blue Check became attainable to everyone, suddenly the “legacy” Blue Checks didn’t want it.
So much about social media is about clout.
The reason the old Twitter influencers don’t like Mastodon is because they have to build their clout from scratch.
Meanwhile, Bluesky is rolling out the red carpet to them.
Personally, I don’t like clout chasers. But that’s me.
