Shitter is just one website. If I post to mastodon, people on hundreds of websites can see my content. Why on earth would I post to shitter if I wanted visibility???

Because one website with millions of users is more reach than 100 websites with few users. Doesn’t mean you should use Ex-Twitter but it makes it understandable why lots still do

Millions of users is a bit of a misleading term. You mean millions of Nazis. I don't care to talk to Nazis.

I do. Because some of them might be able to be brought to reason. I still don’t use Ex-Twitter anymore though, since they’ve blocked third party apps.

What if you want visibility with the idiots on Twitter? A place built by idiots, for idiots.

A whale is just one animal. If I look at my driveway, I can see hundreds of ants. Why on earth would I look anywhere else if I wanted to see animals?
