 ) and Analytodon @npub13atk...3z25 can be useful for those running project or org accounts, for example tracking popular posts and follower growth. When I came to the #fediverse I didn’t want to be a slave to metrics, likes, etc - and I don’t think that’s the right reason to use a social platform, overall (community, social sharing and conversation are why I’m social).
