    Yes that is the crucial difference. Without followers determining your reach, every post earns it’s upvotes on an equal footing with the others, regardless of author.

    It’s a much better system.

    Follower-based networks like Mastodon and Twitter inevitably end up with a handful of people dominating the space because their posts get boosted which gets them more followers which gets them more boosts etc in a spiraling way. This attracts narcissists and drama queens.
