I only post pictures and only follow people that post pictures. I basically use it like Instagram in 2014. I just don't get any engagement on Instagram so I stopped using it. On Twitter I got like 1600 followers and I'm not even consistent with my updates.

I've never made text posts there and I never read what other people are writing. It's a bad platform for that in my opinion.

Are you trying to move to another platform that might also get you followers/help you maintain those.followers (Threads, BlueSky). If I had a photo account, and dining post anything personal about myself, I would probably try any and all platforms. But I don't use SM like that. Does Twitter allow mentions of other platforms you're on? (When he banned mentions of Substack that got me interested in it and it led me to download the app and create an account there.)
