I asked around so-called influencers why they were not on #Mastodon . Here are the most common replies:
1) We can't go viral on Mastodon (read as we can't game the system because humans only boost good stuff)
2) They want a algo driven system (why do you want to see angry posts all day & night?)
3) You can't make money on Mastodon (WTF that even mean?)
4) It is way too technical & confusing. Which server to join? WTF is the server?
Only the last one is valid. The rest are all lazy reasons.
@nixCraft Wait.... wait wait wait. you're telling me that people whos *profession* is to shit-post on social media all day aren't intelligent hardworking people? They're just half-morons who worked out how to exploit a computer glitch?
...I'm shocked. SHOCKED!
Next you will tell me YouTubers aren't any better.
