That’s really weird. Because I obviously haven’t paid a cent to Musk either, and I’ve gone “viral” on twitter.
I really just think it’s due to the fact there is a well established niche community of people of which I post very niche content on on twitter, so it’s rare to have a post that doesn’t do well for me. And if my post ends up more general than the niche ie. disability in general and not just my illness, it sometimes goes viral.
Probably lemmy.world servers were struggling. If it keeps on happening make an alt on something that accepts images straight away (I think slrpnk.net does) and test there via voyager.
A lot of them are people I know in real life. And others are respected / “well known” members of the community who have significant contributions outside of twitter. Can’t tell if the 300 likes are all legit on a post with 300 likes. But I am fairly certain about 100 of those are because I genuinely know the people behind the account.
Mastodon I rarely get one or two favourites. BlueskyI get either ignored or 5-10 likes. Twitter I get anywhere from 5-multiple thousand likes, but 30-100 with maybe 2-5 quality replies is the most common range. I think issue is content is too niche and bluesky/mastodon need to grow before a significant chunk of people with my illness move there.
I wish I could leave twitter, I hate musk with a passion.
I would say looking at a specific source for the claims is way more efficient than researching the credibility of the author.
Here it turns out, it is US govt statistics, which is rather credible on housing and homelessness statistics. However I have no clue about the general credibility of medium nor this specific author.
I have a couple thousand followers on twitter but no followers on bluesky or mastodon ahahh. It’s so hard to grow them. I post my content on all three for now.
Am I the only one who is a but skeptical whenever the link is a medium blog? It’d be nice if I didn’t have to trace down the source from a blog and it was from a trustworthy source.
It’s so weird, like I was born in Australia and moved away at the age of 4 and somehow have citienship? I wasn’t born disabled but am now. The system is so weird.
Imagine though. That family lived in Australia for eight years straight, their kid was born in Australia, and they have to leave because their kid who was born in Australia has a disability. Crazy!
