Just a PSA for any newcomers coming off big social media.
Engagement is:
Person A "Hey, that [thing you did], blah blah blah [appreciation, constructive criticism, feedback etc.]"
Person B "Thanks, [acknowledge said appreciation, constructive criticism, feedback etc.]"
Engagement is NOT:
*3.1k likes, 1.2k shares*
@DavBot Your real example of engagement is what I feel the definition of a social network is (notice I didn't call it social media).
This place right here is magical for true engagement and feedback like you mentioned.
@killyourfm
Yep, a it's big diff between sharing and engaging. Tech bro assholes just devolved the concept of engaging into a bite sized, endorphin triggering marketing metric.
The fedi is not about profits, it's about communicating.
