@octade @taylormccue There is definitely a need for being, or becoming more than, careful with the fact that this sh** plugs directly into our brain. In our space here.
At least we have no algos and advertisment ads, well sh** isn't even a word for that crap, but it is primordial to get away from the consideration that it's good education and being polite to follow or follow back. The profiles (and hashtags, a very important source) we follow are our news agregator, our algorythm.
I started time ago, and even stated in one profile that:
#exclaimerThis profile follows/unfollows quite randomly others, being them followers, leaders or … what ever.
The reasons/criteria might vary from time to time.
… in other words:
Don’t worry [at least try to] be happy …
Also there is lists, I just extended the previous BS list on one profile with:
Musk, Zuckerberg, Facebook, Meta, Twitter, Instagram, X, Trump, Melania, JD Vance, USpol, AfD, Weidel, Soeder, Merz, Spahn, Meloni, Von der Leyen, Putin, Orban, unsolicited advise
As of now it looks like it works like charm.
