Huh, I have the opposite. On twitter I never get traction (I assume its because I've never paid them $$ to promote my content) whereas I've gone viral and attracted press from the same content on Mastodon

That’s really weird. Because I obviously haven’t paid a cent to Musk either, and I’ve gone “viral” on twitter.

I really just think it’s due to the fact there is a well established niche community of people of which I post very niche content on on twitter, so it’s rare to have a post that doesn’t do well for me. And if my post ends up more general than the niche ie. disability in general and not just my illness, it sometimes goes viral.
