Why are so many people seeing more engagement on Mastodon than Twitter?
To me, the answer is pretty simple: Twitter tries to aggregate as much attention as possible around stuff that goes mega-viral.
There are only so many minutes in the day. So for stuff to "blow up big" necessitates that most of the rest of the posts from people we might actually want to hear from must go unseen.

@mimsical @heycaseywattsup Great article.
On #selhost #selfhosting - I've been running my own server since mid-November. Once I got it setup and tuned, the maintenance has been marginal / minor at best.
The story is pinned to my profile, and here. Of course, I've got Linux expertise and am comfortable there, so it's only for those who might know what they are doing. But doing it, once done, is simple.

@heycaseywattsup @mimsical No worries. I just always like to point out that once it is setup it involves very little maintenance.

@jimcarroll @mimsical ????
If you’re comfortable enough to host anyway that’s great!
I felt conflicted suggesting people don’t host haha — but I estimate roughly it’s like 1% of ppl are devs and 1% of devs want to self host things ?
so very few people would want to, and the intimidates a lot of the 99% I’ve talked to so that’s what I was speaking to
