Even though #JohnMastodon hates a cheesy bid for #virality, he checks off on the #IdesOfMusk #LeaveTwitter #March15 thing.

#JohnMastodon contains multitudes, man.

RESEARCH FINDING:

Twitter is now actively pushing #climate #conspiracy myths into #virality, despite them being overall unpopular.

Why is @elonmusk putting his thump on the scale for the anti-science crowd? Why no #transparency?

Technologically, nothing locks #Fediverse into #antivirality. #Virality features can be put in, on the cheap too.

People have said that #Mastodon has built in counter-virality.

I wonder if this is accurate, since I've seen a couple posts hit 500+ boosts and have had a 200+ boost post myself.

It's a different (and better) kind of virality, to be sure, but Mastodon still has significant viral capabilities. They weren't relevant before due to the much smaller scale of the network and stronger sub-cultural norms.

This is likely to change and it will be a wild ride.

@darkcarnivaleric Precisely or rather #virality here is more organic rather than clout and outrage driven — think #JohnMastodon’s wonderful uprising two weeks ago. And depending on massive corporate controlled platforms for our organizing has always seemed questionable — besides we used to do a mighty good job of organizing with listservs and such . A federated network controlled by people not profits sure seems more aligned with organizing and more able to avoid repression.

@rysiek I think nuanced conversations need to define and separate the concepts of "virality", "reach", and "advertising", among others.

With a subset of potential/actual users raising concerns about "how many eyeballs will see my post", I think intentions matter.

One small slice of that discussion is the category of "influencers" who want to game algorithmically based virality as part of their brand advertising. I think "natural virality" is more important (and possible). #virality #viral

Next was a thorough talk on understanding (old) #Twitter #virality by Filippo Menczer at the #MIT Initiative on the Digital #Economy. This talk gets into the complex interplay between bots, polarization, and #contagion in Twitter #networks. While the days for this kind of research are numbered on current platforms, it's still nice to get insight into how these processes may function. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAIX0ekFJLQ (6/7)

@apsin @ryanschultz I think we need to *reclaim* the word "viral" from the traditional commercial algorithms.

Virality is still a good analogy for things like John Mastodon, and it's more honest when it comes from the people opppsed to a commercially skewed algorithm, or any algorithm with intent.

There is an algorithm here (e.g. boosts, local and federated feeds, etc), it's simply more neutral and democratic. Just my $0.02...

"Twitter alternative: how Mastodon is designed to be “#antiviral”"

Maybe a good explanation, why some people like #Mastodon and some not.

@tkurz

Also, I think conversations can get very messy if everything stays in the same thread. The same applies for #replies not opening new #threads.

Then again I understand that the non-existence of #QuoteToot kind of inhibits #virality for the sake of virality, and "hijacking" conversations.

Thanks also @DopeGhoti for your tip, but as said, I feel that might become too messy for any conversation (and even more so if the thread becomes long)...

Between #Twitter & #Mastodon, it looks like there is currently a #virality crisis:
- On Twitter it looks like unpaid accounts are mostly shadowed,
- On Mastodon, linear timelines don't make good toots emerge.

On the Fedi and Viral Content

When people praise the lack of #viral content on Mastodon (or the #fediverse in general), it’s seems to be mostly white tech folks, happy for our clever bubbles to be left alone.
