@hyperplanes @taylorlorenz A trove of wildly viral content on here disproves this idea. Just yesterday I saw a poll with 26 thousand votes in it. All you need for virality is the reblog (boost). There are people who are literally on a server-of-one and go viral regularly here.

@Gargron @taylorlorenz certainly things can still go viral to some extent with boost, but these are activists who rely on call-out culture, so to speak, to call attention to injustices, and I don't think they're totally wrong in sensing that Mastodon is less open to that than Twitter

@Gargron @hyperplanes @taylorlorenz Which content is viral on here? The point of the thread is that the public is historically very adept at ignoring disability. What does Mastodon do to break that status quo, and amplify marginalized voices? If the answer is, "We treat everyone equally," then you're equally marginalizing those voices as much here as anywhere else. If that's not a priority, then it isn't, but please don't then claim that marginalized voices have access to public visibility here.
