For some people, the engagement has been similar on Mastodon, even though they only have a fraction of the followers. This might suggest that either Mastodon users are generally more engaged (they actively chose to follow and can see every post) or that Twitter follower numbers were artificially inflated.

I believe the current audience on Mastodon doesn’t cater as much to outrage farmers, C-list celebrities and crypto bros and is more interested in real conversation about interesting topics. Therefore infosec people (one example) haven’t seen a noticeable dip.
