   I don't understand why people seem to expect that if they sign up here they must get famous instantly or it's a failure of the platform. Did you not spend years growing your network on Twitter?

     @Gargron the only accounts I follow on Twitter that are truly worthwhile are ones I found organically through friends or other types of media where I originally discovered them (e.g., linked from Twitch) - things that are completely platform-independent.

     @Gargron Additionally: if anyone can get famous instantly with zero effort, fame has no meaning.

     @itobiasgray I'm not on the side of people who make fun of the word networking or growing your network.

     @Gargron lf they want to be famous, they should stick to the commercial social sites. I think just being a decent social human is enough to generate clout anywhere, do something the community appreciates: Great content, great discourse, or you can just read the room and find your niche then grown from there.

     @Gargron Maybe a bit of it is the fact that Twitter has hit the laggards part of the market, which joined late, but after a large audience was already established.

     I don't know the answer, but I feel like the profile page on Mastodon is fantastic and in the right direction for that target with its tags, endorsements, and support for multiple links.

     @Gargron I have roughly half the followers here as I do on Twitter (it's taken me years to get to 53 there), but I think some of them are bots. No complaints on that end!
