Why did you pick those two? Usage-wise mastodon looks 100x larger than pleroma, and I can't get stats on soapbox.

I'll defend that user count isn't all that matters (these aren't venture capital backed businesses), but I'm curious why you prefer those?

Where does the author do this? All I see is, "you can find me on the decentralized Mastodon".

I post a lot of photos, particularly of flowers, to mastodon.social because I get very good engagement on them. I know a lot of people using Pixelfed find them, favorite them, and boost them.

That's the privilege of being 98% of the Twitter-clone fediverse.

Because people have heard of mastodon, unlike pleroma or soapbox.

Never heard of them until now...
