FYI... At last count, #Bluesky has around 5 Million users and #Mastodon has around 15.5 Million users. Unlike #Xitter, none of the Mastodon accounts are bots created merely to build the follower counts of celebrities, manipulate voters, and bring in ad dollars.
Almost all of the accounts here are real people engaging in positive, uplifting feed. Trolls have no algorithm to help them build a following. Ads are not allowed.
You also cannot base your data only on the Mastodon app user count. There are multiple apps to access #Mastodon and the #Fediverse, including #Tusky#Moshidon#Megalodon and #Tooot. Not everyone accesses Mastodon through the same doors.
I do know that it has been my experience and that of other users that interactions here are at a far higher rate (ratio'd to followers) than on Xitter -- FAR more Likes, RTs, and replies for the lower follower/following counts we tend to have on Mastodon (vs Xitter).
This tells me that a much higher percentage of accounts here are active and frequently used than there.
A content warning can be added even after posting by editing the post. (Remember, this is not Xitter. You can edit posts here.)
And yes, please... A #ContentWarning for this level and detail of gun violence is absolutely necessary. I am not one to add CWs lightly, but it is vital here.
@BethanyBlack We had that problem, too, especially after lockdown started and everyone was home all the time.
Our dog is good at conning us into feeding her multiple breakfasts and suppers.
We keep a small double-sided paper on her food bin. One side says "The Dog Ate Supper" and the other side says "The Dog Ate Breakfast." Whenever she's fed, the paper gets flipped. That way, we know she's not actually starving.
(She/her) Tooting out any #voiceover / #VO and #voiceacting #CastingCalls and #gigs that I run across. I also #FollowBack, and post #NerdNews, and opinions about #superheroes and #ComicBooks, in both the #DCU and #MCU. I enjoy #humor, #StarTrek, #DoctorWho, and #dogs.Demo Reels (SoundCloud):http://soundcloud.com/anne-ahlert
