@zens@merveilles.town This is going to depend on what the underlying assumption for that belief is of course, but a common assumption is that every place is as dire as Twitter and therefore without an algorithm, nobody would care.

I usually try to emphasize to people that here when people follow you, it's because they actually care about what you're *doing*, and so that makes them far more likely to share something cool you've created.

I've gotten like 10x as much interaction on here with a fraction of the followers I had on Twitter, and I've seen other people pretty much universally report the same. It's just not a fight pit like Twitter is, people *care* here.

All of that is hard to get across of course, but mentioning it explicitly might help to get at the 'root cause' of her belief?
