Aral Balkan (aral@mastodon.ar.al)'s status on Friday, 16-Dec-2022 21:26:28 JST Aral Balkan

Elon Musk’s most popular recent tweet: 227.9K retweets, 29.1K likes.
My most popular post recent fediverse post: 196 boosts, 244 favourites.
Elon’s followers on Twitter: 121.6M
My followers here: 28,661
Elon’s engagement rate*: 0.187%, 0.024%
Mine: 0.68%, 0.85%
So I get ~3-35 times more engagement from my instance of one on the fediverse than Elon gets on a network he:
• Owns
• Spent $44B on
• Controls the algorithm on
* ratio of boosts/likes to followers
All I can say is… loo-hoo-ser-her!

    Every private space is owned by someone. That someone makes and enforces the rules according to their own interests. You have no right to free speech in private spaces. If the owner of a shopping mall doesn’t like what your t-shirt says, they can have security escort you out. “Social media” (Silicon Valley and venture capitalists) sold you the lie that shopping malls are parks. They are not. If you care about human rights and democracy, build and support parks not shopping malls. #SmallWeb

  @ploum Well, it’s just one metric, not a PhD thesis ;)

  @aral : My most successful post had 2.2k reboosts and 3.7k favourites for 4500 followers.
  Does that mean I have an "engagement rate" of nearly 50%? It doesn’t feel quite right…

  @aral I think there are better uses of statistics than this.
