@inthehands@hachyderm.ioI appreciate the boosts on the thread above, which I take as support.
The defeatist replies make me despair a bit. Just to address some greatest hits en masse:
1. “Kick them out yourselves” − JFC, what the hell do you think we are trying to do, constantly, day after day, the amount of action and engagement against the federal invasion where I live is like nothing I’ve seen in my lifetime. WE ARE ASKING FOR HELP. Please do not be an ass about it.
@fluchtkapsel@nerdculture.deOne of the most useless search terms for Mastodon is the `in:library`. Yeah, I get it, everything I've interacted with. But I'd expect to only show stuff I bookmarked. I don't see a way to only search in my bookmarked posts. There are accounts where I favorited a *lot* of the posts but only bookmark one or two. No way to find them anymore :-/
I hope, there'll be more possible values to `in:` in the future, e.g. `favorites`, `bookmarks`, `replies`, `boosts`.

Like... what good is 33 000 followers if less than 1/3rd potentially see your post and you get nearly no real engagement?
My Theory: While Politicians think they are using X/FB because “that's where the people are”, the data shows that the "people" beyond clicking ‘follow' never actually see them or engage with that person. Instead, what the profile is actually used for is self promotion. A known place where the *media* can pick up the relevant happenings of a politician.
Which then begs the question. Would said Mayor of Ottawa be able to do exactly the same thing, and engage with the same or more constituents on ottawa.place?

"Oracle" for me again. 😒
Other than My most boosted post and a count of 1443 posts and 250 followers I don't think it means much on a tiny server. Everyone here is in the top 75% of users because there are two users. 😆
The categories are:
Oracle: “You created new posts more than replies, keeping Mastodon fresh and future‑facing.”
Social butterfly (replier): You replied far more than posting originals.
Cool‑hunter (booster): You mainly amplify others via boosts.
Pollster: You created lots of polls compared to everything else.
Lurker: You post and interact relatively little overall.
