As an Aethy & Misskey artist, I find it pretty easy to get engagement with a post. A renote/re-toot can usually get you really well in the algorithm. It really sucks that “regular social media” doesn’t work this way. All that does on the more popular social platforms is make them think: “Problematic, don’t engage,” and then shadow-ban you off the face of the earth.

It’s hilarious how we put up with it, to be honest.
