Well, this tells us that more privacy minded people with a background or interest in technology tend to be more present/engaging on Fediverse platforms. Not really surprising.
I can’t imagine anything terrible or distopian happening from this.
But it has 10k impressions!!! which means that 9k bots scrolled past it and a couple of people had it loaded on their app.
Same idea as new-reddit with its ‘views’. It doesn’t make sense how some post on a local subreddit gets a few hundred impressions immediately, even when posted at 4am. Meanwhile the actual organic comments on the same post follow the average human wake/sleep cycle
I wonder if advertisers are also fooled by those numbers, or if they use a different way of measuring
A sample size of 1 isn’t really meaningful.
Also, this post is refuting a claim that isn’t really being made? At least not literally.
I love the different attitudes the first line of the posts has.
