Thank you to Governor Walz for saying on national television that "Just because you have a mental health issue, doesn't mean you're violent."

Happy Labor Day to my US friends!

For those who do not know, today is a celebration o all the contributions of the Labor movement and workers to our overall society.

Happy for having a weekend? Thank the labor movement. The 8 hour workday / 40 hour work week? Benefits? Collective bargaining? Etc? Thank the Labor movement.

Anyway, happy Labor Day! Here's a quick scene with Agnes leading some striking Moduland citizens.

RE: Last boost

School lunches should be free for all kids, everywhere. Period.

TFW a toot of mine from 2 months ago suddenly starts making rounds again.

Don't be a gatekeeper.

I've been doing this side by side Pixelfed vs Instagram thing at the end of each month. I am posting the same content on both platforms, seeing what the differences look like in terms of engagement.

As I have said before, I've been tracking my followers, likes on each post, comments, and other calculated statistics on both my Pixelfed and Instagram account to see what the difference really is between using the two mediums.

The results? Well, we're 3 months into 2024 and I think there's some common trends I'm noticing.

Let's start with raw numbers.

#Pixelfed #Instagram #Fediverse #Meta #SocialMedia #Statistics #ActivityPub

On Instagram - the most comments I received was 10 on a post about the collapse of the Key Bridge last week. On Pixelfed, the most comments I received was 3, on that same post.

Let's talk about likes.

In March I averaged the following:
Instagram - 25.7 likes / post
Pixelfed - 10.8 likes per post

For Insta, that's an increase from January of over 5 more likes per post. For Pixelfed, that's a boost of 2 likes per post over January's numbers. Both are good and seeing a nice increase since the beginning of the year.

Followers first.

I started the month with 115 followers on Pixelfed and 424 followers on Instagram. I begin April with 123 followers on Pixelfed and 447 on Insta.

Both went up as I kept posting regularly throughout the week. Which is good!

On both accounts I'm also responding to comments I receive to keep the interactions up as well.

So, let's shift over to comments.

Basically, year to date I'm getting about 2.5 comments on average on Insta. On Pixelfed? About 0.7 on average. Neither get a lot of comments, to be honest.

#Pixelfed #Instagram #Fediverse #Meta #SocialMedia #Statistics #ActivityPub

Overall since 2024 began - I am averaging the following:
22 likes per post on Instagram and 9 likes per post on Pixelfed.

Now here's an interesting piece of data - likes per follower.

On Instagram, I'm currently at 0.05 likes for every follower, or about the equivalent to 5% of my followers actually liking my posts. For Pixelfed, it's 0.08 likes per follower or 8% of my followers liking my posts.

It's small, but there's more likes per follower on Pixelfed than Instagram.

#Pixelfed #Instagram #Fediverse #Meta #SocialMedia #Statistics #ActivityPub

In terms of most liked, on Instagram, it was my post on "One Piece Ace's Story" which had 43 total likes! The Pixelfed version of that post had 6 likes https://pixelfed.social/i/web/post/677884083488326326

My top Pixelfed post in terms of likes was 41 likes, this time for an adorable Caturday post. The equivalent on Instagram got 22 likes. https://pixelfed.social/i/web/post/674621769379984464

EDITED: Noticed I was mistaken on the numbers, so changed the top Insta post and link.

A couple random notes:
Instagram has an active manga community and if you hit the right niche posts, it hits and spreads.

Insta doesn't love Caturday like the Fediverse does. It just doesn't. All of my cat pics do better on Pixelfed than Instagram. Always have.

Sometimes, the most surprising posts take off on either platform and I just don't get it.

That's not bad, just showing how there's never too much to learn from checking this stuff out.

#Pixelfed #Instagram #Fediverse #Meta #SocialMedia #Statistics #ActivityPub

Also, I've noted that since the beginning of the year - I've increased my follower count by 61 on Instagram and by 36 on Pixelfed.

That's a 16% increase on Insta and a 41% increase on Pixelfed. It helps that my Pixelfed follower count is are lower. But, also, it makes the reach of my Pixelfed account vs my Instagram account a bit more impressive when your realize I have 3 times as many Instagram followers than I do on Pixelfed.

I am refusing to watch the Chefs and Fins game on Peacock.

Do not put the NFL behind a streaming paywall.

It'll only encourage them to make more games into pay per view events.

#NFL #MIAvsKC #NFLPlayoffs #SuperWildcardWeekend

@gnitro You can watch all local games and most prime time games with a TV antenna on local stations. Apart from TNF and MNF, which are on Prime and cable respectively, the remaining games are on local TV stations via an antenna.

And local games always are.

@gnitro If they live locally. Miami / KC fans who don't live locally can't and need Peacock.

@gnitro Oh, I'm sure this is where it's going. I don't like it & will hold off on participating in this nonsense as long as possible.
