@georgetakei RIP choco-taco

@Mrfunkedude @Catwoman69y2k yeah that makes sense, but I just don't think that's how most people interpret clout. To a certain extent we do get focused on increasing certain numbers for their own sake, because followers can map directly to reach, which then has some kind of sales conversation rate. The sad truth is Twitter was never very good at that in the first place. The Fediverse could be even better in practice.

@Catwoman69y2k @Mrfunkedude that said, I think there will be some transfer/evolution of what that all means in the context of the fedi. It seems to already have made it here, but it looks different than it did on the bird site. Corporations are going to have a hard time but influencers and indies should have a chance here if they can adapt to the new social dynamics.

@Catwoman69y2k @Mrfunkedude I think it's totally fair to not like participating the whole clout chasing thing. I will say though that some of us convert that into our income so coming to the fedi having lost most of our followings and seeing people crap on the concept of clout struck me as inconsiderate and hurtful, especially as many of us were in a panic feeling uncertain how this was going to affect our ability to survive. :(
