Someone reminded me that I shouldn't find "people to follow" here. Instead, I should find people to *have conversations with.*
Unlearning 14 years of Twitter terminology and mindset isn't an overnight thing. But it's important to shift how I look at this space.
Because this space is special.
@killyourfm I find that attitude exhausting. It's possible to follow, without interaction, and still not be like Twitter.
Someone might post interesting links I want to see, without me needing to have a *conversation* about them every time. Or someone posts art I like, maybe even buy, but I don't need to always *say* something.
It can be different without being exhausting. Keeping *conversation* as a hard norm risks excluding some of us who aren't always very verbal. Just saying.
@herzleid Totally valid viewpoint and approach! Please note that I intentionally used "I" instead of "we" for this very reason.
I'm thinking outloud here, not pressuring everyone to adopt my mentality.
