    I enjoy your posts, particularly the ones on AI usage in the industry. I agree mastodon is rabidly (and idiotically) anti-AI, but I think the fact you don't interact with replies here could also play a part in you losing followers. People are very sensistive to that

    @gotofritz My level of interaction is about the same on all 3 apps. I mostly like/star comments and rarely respond unless I feel I have something meaningful to add to what was said or triggered by the comment.

        @carnage4life I am glad you’re also posting here, as I’m done with corporate social media. Yes, people are anti AI here, but I consider this a natural reaction to the crazy amounts of blue-pill in other bubbles.

            @carnage4life Your profile still shows 18K followers, so I’m guessing the steady loss you report is a slow trickle of some kind? In contrast to growth elsewhere, that’s interesting and certainly a relative drag. I wonder if perhaps your follower count is proportional or related to growth of the user base itself on each platform? I get the sense that Mastodon only grows in occasional bursts, while the other two grow more steadily (maybe due to advertising?)

                @MarkT123 I have 18,530 followers and started this morning at 18,534. I think I had about 18,600 a few months ago when I started noticing a steady loss of about 5 followers a day whenever I post about AI in a non-critical manner.

                It’s not a huge decline but it stands in contrast to growth on other platforms from literally the exact same content.

                  @carnage4life thanks for the comparison. I've been completely blind to threads. I'm legit surprised it's got so many active users

                      @sepdroid @carnage4life I think he means least engagement overall. Of that little engagement, tech topics get most engagement

                        @heathborders @sepdroid That’s what I meant. Least engagement overall on Mastodon with the engagement that does occur being mostly on tech topics

                          @dalias That’s quite a bit of projection. I’m following up on a post from three months ago which set the context and also trying to fit the content into 300 characters so it could fit on Bluesky, since I posted the same thing on all 3 apps.

                          @dalias @carnage4life there’s something interesting to me about your account. It comes across to me almost like a bot account. Limited interaction and high posting rate, quite declaratory. That you’re posting the same content across platforms probably explains this.
