Data point:
A few days ago I explained in my blog what I was planning after I retire from Arizona State University -- namely work to help those who are trying to save democracy, and freedom of expression, in part by helping journalists do their jobs.
I briefly posted my intentions (with links to my blog explainer) here, LinkedIn, and Facebook.
I got the most engagement (replies, likes, etc.) at LinkedIn, by a considerable margin. Mastodon was second, Facebook third, and the blog fourth.
