One plus for Mastodon so far is that I feel the participation a lot more acutely. Comparing numbers, I may be only getting 4-6 likes on a post here, but comparatively that is about 10 times higher per follower count than on the birdsite. This somewhat confirms something I've suspected for a while, that the general over-subscription to feeds on the birdsite leads to most people not even seeing my content or just not watching their feeds at all. Thanks for following.
