bluesky is doing mastodon discourse again and i really wish people would separate out the experience of people with, like, under 3k followers
for whom mastodon can be as good or easily better a time
with the >10k follower folks who really aren’t wrong when they find it worse for them here
i further submit to you that if you feel it is necessary you have more followers than athens had inhabitants in 900bc, you have done an xkcd1075 on your social brain

@maya I've only ever wanted "followers" who want to talk to me about common interests. I read all of their profiles.
There's something fundamentally broken in people who seek followers for the sake of numerical bragging rights.
Human beings aren't collectibles.
