I mention this because I see similar weird behavior here; the grind for follows, the sniping, the toxic F4F pushes, the follow/unfollow/follow tactics. I dunno. I just think folks need to relax. Numbers going up is nice, but it's not a worthy measure. 🤷‍♂️ - ThreadSky

I must be blocking the right people. I see hardly any of this anymore. I agree wholeheartedly, though, like…who the fuck cares.

It's definitely dialed back since I've curated my feeds, but every now and again it pops up still.

Just a habit I really wish people would leave behind.

100% agree.

To wit: No lie, I have no idea why so many folks follow me. I have no idea why folks support my streams. I'm not gathering metrics, demo data, or anything.

I just make things, try to be a decent sort, and hope people like it. My answer to "how to build a community" is me flapping my hands in panic.

The people who want the exhausting hustle of adverts can stay on Twitter. I like people. You’re real. :)

Takes one to know one, man. 💙

To Wit: You said right there why people follow you: you make fun things, you're a decent sort who finds good words to say, and people do like those things. 💙

I follow you because I like your art, it’s in my style wheelhouse and you are decent as near as I can tell.

profmurder.bsky.social•3 days ago

Decent as a person for clarity.

People are weird, eh?
