Matthew Wilding | Old Devils on Kickstarter until 10/22!@matthewwilding.bsky.socialposted: Fun fact: Bluesky is outperforming Twitter on conversions for my Kickstarter by 900%.
Despite it having the most followers of any platform for me, Twitter is converting at lower numbers than EVERY OTHER social media platform I'm using (Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Bluesky).
Tim Kellogg@timkellogg.meposted: i think what defines bluesky is your ability to craft the tone and content of the conversations you want to have, it’s like real facilitation
aside from blocking, you have:
- detach quote
- hide reply
that surely is hampering engagement, strictly speaking, but it significantly raises the quality
