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:
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?
