"i have to be on [genocidal platform] its where all the eyeballs are!"
at my peak i had 13k followers on twitter. i now have 12k followers on bluesky with only 40 million total users, and 11k on mastodon with 10 million users
what does it matter to me how many users are on a platform? what matters is how many i can actually reach
also, i've driven way more traffic to my creations from mastodon/bluesky because my links aren't being suppressed so they've actually been way *more* successful

this is also why i'm not too fussed about going on tiktok for marketing. tiktok is devious, they give you an extra few shots of visibility when you're new but from what i can tell unless that turns into virality you're left to languish afterwards, but locked in hoping that visibility one day returns

@eniko also, nothing prevents anyone who feels they need to be on [genocidal platform] to *also* establish a Fediverse presence too. And since building an audience here takes (on average) more time, anyone who didn't start three years ago (at the latest) is now three years late in building the Fediverse presence.
