I’ve been running a network of creative bots on Mastodon for some time now (my earliest Mastodon bots are from August 2018) and I thought it would be fun to put together a few data visualizations around them.
Here’s a look at my bots’ popularity in terms of followers. (I excluded myself from the follower counts.)
Nice.
Now, I know some people follow more than just one of my bots, so I was wondering what the total number of unique followers was.
It turns out it’s my bots have 6,102 unique followers combined. That’s quite a lot!
And the top three followers each follow 19, 17, and 15 of my bots, respectively. Nice to have a dedicated audience!
Here’s a view of the full network of my bots and their followers.
PS: You might also enjoy my Twitter bots retrospective, or some of my other data visualization projects.
I currently run 43 creative Mastodon bots, which are together followed by 6,102 unique accounts.
Here’s what this network looks like.
