You want to know the value of Mastodon over Insta? Posted this on Instagram to the 15k followers I have there, properly tagged. 29 likes, no comments.

Masto? So much engagement. So much fun discussion. So much more community.

Numbers don't mean squat if you don't have the follow through. I've never sold a single piece of art through Insta. People on Insta like passively browsing through images and tapping the heart. For an artist, it's a useless audience.

I don't really like her either (she more or less sided with white nationalist groups in the recent uprising in South Africa because the indigenous protestors were 'too violent'), but as a queer person who's been the target of a hate campaign, the fediblock canary is kind of indispensible.
