It’s so funny that anyone thinks they can port their entire following on one social network to another seamlessly.

For everyone who thinks I should leave Twitter this poll I just did there explains the problem. Bluesky remains unattractive to a big chunk of people.

No one’s making him leave Twitter.

i haven't been on twitter for months now - i changed my bio there to tell ppl i am here, i think

It takes time to build a following on any site.

mtannenbaum.bsky.social•11 days ago

and that quantity of followers > quality of followers.

someone should make a protocol for that

52% is pretty good! I'd take it and not look back

I’m stuck on why I would care if I lost followers when leaving Twitter - I don’t want those followers!

52% is great

do that poll here about Twitter and I promise it does far worse

cavandy.bsky.social•11 days ago

I'm at 75% of my twtr follows but the engagement is 10x even vs pre-elon bc fewer bots and more engaged mutuals

for you guys w massive follows idk how you manage!

proptermalone.bsky.social•11 days ago

poorly, mostly

and yeah engagement per follower is insane here

peark.es•11 days ago

Yeah it’s…a lot lol.

Isn't the trick that it's followers here, rather than 'following' and that what people who've curated a large following over there on the bad site just don't get when they come over here?

Props to him for not censoring the “390 votes” thing though.

ryandoherty.bsky.social•11 days ago

I mean, he took that “40% don’t care either way and barely bother following you now” response on the chin.

dogfromsinope.bsky.social•11 days ago

from just looking at the poll i would have thought the clear argument was that bluesky is a pretty viable alternative!

weirdalf.bsky.social•11 days ago

I think the even clearer argument is that Twitter engagement is abysmal. 390 votes!

fishecon.bsky.social•11 days ago

Why does this guy think it’s an accurate poll given the algorithm at Twitter? A large number of his followers didn’t even see this poll.

owejessen.de•11 days ago

I wonder why that would even be desirable. Shere number of followers is meaningless (unless your income depends on exactly that metric), it should either be the quality of interaction with followers, or at least the ability to be actually read by followers (whis is abysmal on Twitter). .
