I understand there is some discourse currently going on about "clout" here on Bluesky and while I can understand why people can be focused on it and how to achieve it I must tell you my entire posting strategy is and always has been "This was in just in my brain and now it is your problem too"

I am beyond uninterested in "clout".
Integrity & proper vetting is how you can gain "clout."

Am I doing it wrong?
All the pain and 1/2 the fun
In other words, the 'conversation' seems to be one way.
Thanks for explaining!
Resemble this remark.
Also, thinking about whether purple and chartreuse make for a good color combination.
🙂
On the flip side: the less people follow me back, the less likelihood that one of my stupid ideas leads someone else into legal trouble for taking me seriously. That's my criteria.
But what in the hell do I know? 🤷♀️

The parsley ended up being the giant in my new little herb garden this summer -- and I mean giant! -- and it was really good parsley, too...
But it was parsley. Good and useful as parsley, and big, but ... parsley.
There is some pressure with having followers. Now I feel I need to be interesting. Dudes! I'm not @scalzi.com - you really should just follow him and get variety!
Try to get interesting posts in your feed and engage with genuine curiosity. Bots are not here just to have a good time.
But honestly, the algorithm doesn’t reward people with more followers. Your default feed doesn’t have one. It’s just people you follow. So there’s not really a reward for followers.
Other poster: I got rear ended in the Kroger parking lot. What an awful day!
You: Great point…
(😉)
Or not.
Maybe, I don't know. Can you repeat the question.
You’re following less than 5K, and clearly not farming for followers. Looks real to me.
I block about a third of my follow notifications.

Turns out there's people who *want* me to be their problem, which is strange, if affirming.
Like I'm not a great poster because I'm happy and relatively mentally and emotionally well. It's the trade-off that's there 🤷
and yes i used to do creative campaigns for marketing agencies. that's not what i'm doing here
*It’s a stretch, I know…
Please never change that.
Also, the afterword of Kaiju Presevation Society was inspiring, thank you.
Thank you
I’m not here to follow or be followed! I’m here for arts, news, nature, and action/advice that will help us survive the incoming 💩 show.
One more thing . . . BOOOOOGER!!!!!
