Three month check-in on follower counts after posting the same content on all 3 apps

@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?)

@carnage4life we like you!

@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

@heathborders @carnage4life We are least engagement on tech topics? What?

[heathborders@hachyderm.io]

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

[carnage4life@mas.to]

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

@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.
