I get more engagement on Mastodon with 1/10th of the followers, and that's supposedly the least popular alternative compared to Bluesky/Threads.

Because people on mastodon don't feel "captive" to the corporate social media feed and are free to engage however they want.

They blame the people for how hostile their platforms are, but all the while feed us only content that makes us angry or upset -- so yeah, it's not a surprise that the platform is a cesspool when they're the ones stirring the shit in the first place to keep engagement high.
