Not that this means anything at all, but I just surpassed 50% of the number of followers I had on Twitter over here. Yet, people keep trying to tell me on the other site that no one is here.

(And, yes, follower count is a silly thing, and does not actually matter, just noting the milestone).

And, again, the conversations I'm having here are so much better.

@mmasnick It took me 13 years to reach 1,000 followers on the birdsite and six weeks to reach 700 over here, and while I agree that follower count is meaningless I can’t help but feel that difference is indicative of something (although I’m not entirely sure what that something is yet.)
