@feditips I find perspectives like this so puzzling. We want Mastodon to be more broadly adopted and more entities to join the Fediverse, then in the next breath we're vilifying tools that help measure any type of metric of engagement. We're never going to get journalists and the broader marketing communities to take this platform seriously if there's no ways to measure ROI. Some people may be happy with that, but you can't aspire for huge community growth and have no modern analytics tools.
