@boggo @nnenov and to be clear - I'm not a big fan of either approach (Twitter back in the day had suggested profiles - and friends who got put on that list rapidly grew their followers counts - I wasn't on such lists and my Twitter followers stabilized at around 3000 or so relatively early and never grew much beyond that
And I strongly dislike the algorithmic slop of the "feed" in platforms like FB where most of what gets shown me there isn't from my real friends of even groups I have joined

@Rycaut @boggo I think the old twitter algorithm was good, I found so many interesting accounts back then. And I was also a lot more discoverable which is kind of important if you are an artist. Im lucky enough that I have regular work at the moment otherwise I would be spending a lot more time on Instagram trying to get my work out there. I really like how personal mastodon feels and its probably for the best its not been massively adopted as I can imagine some bad stuff happening.
