I guess I have a warning for would-be social media influencers checking out the #fediverse. The warning is that while the fediverse may appear to be similar to #twitter, the similarities remain superficial. If you've come here in the hopes of some algorithm to assist, you will be sorely disappointed. Furthermore, most participants in the #ActivityPub realm have chosen to be here precisely because they found attempts to be influenced or manipulated tiresome and annoying.
Social media influencers will probably find more traction at Bluesky. The fediverse world is independent-minded and less likely to be swayed by an individual opinion, even regardless of celebrity status. We are more apt to question the influencer's point of view than to take it in faith.
In short, the fediverse isn't a popularity contest. It's merely a platform for exchanging ideas and learning from other people.
