How much engagement do I get on my various social media?

Here's the same post on 4 different social media platforms. First after an hour on each.


Those are follower/like ratios of:

Twitter --- 5,300

Bluesky --- 550

Threads --- 400 

Facebook --- 3,400


And after 4 hours this had become:


Twitter --- 3,700

Bluesky --- 366 + 2 reposts!

Threads --- 327 

Facebook --- 785


So Twitter is by far the worst for engagement. And even with 37,000 followers it was the worst in absolute terms too.

Bluesky was the best, but surprisingly Threads was also very good.

Facebook is largely garbage these days.

This was this morning's feed and it's typical for what I see:

1. Adverts for groups I might like
2. random account it wants me to follow
3. random account it wants me to follow
4. advert
5. random account it wants me to follow
6. Friend post
7. reels from random accounts
8. random account it wants me to follow
9. advert
10. random account it wants me to follow
11. random account it wants me to follow
12. Friend post
13. random account it wants me to follow
14. advert

With over 10,000 friends and followers I get very little engagement, and it's clearly being deluged in this never ending stream of "follow this" rubbish that's pushing people away. It's not rocket science, but apparently it's too complicated for Mark Zuckerberg. If it was just the adverts ... well ... ok. But why shove all these random people/pages down my throat when what I want to see is the people I have chosen to friend?
