I've been on Mastodon for over a year and the content simply isn't there. Several of the people that I follow on Twitter have tried moving or duplicating to Mastodon. They've had a fraction of the visibility and engagement from commenters that they would get on Twitter. Invariably after a few months they have essentially given up on it as a primary medium. For me the discoverability is essentially non-existent, which I don't think is helped by the idea of it being based around instance-local communities, which have no meaning when you're looking at something like Twitter.

My experience has been better. User engagement is much higher per follower and the discussions don’t devolve. They’re much more useful and/or interesting. KPIs don’t measure everything.

Many people are most interested in profit as their only KPI and mastodon puts up a lot of hurdles for those people.

It's not the best platform for the profit driven, and I much prefer it that way.

This exactly. I was saying that as a user, not a creator. I make money away from social media so I don’t care to bring that to my personal space.
