I don't follow more people because I am but a single human who wants his bluesky feed to be a curated stream of delightful reads, not an unmanageable firehose of posts he will never get to. If you followed me on the unspoken condition of a reciprocal follow, it's okay to unfollow me now.

I follow you (for now), but why don't you follow more people back. I don't get it...

Cat photo as timeline cleanse: The mighty Pyewacket tending to his toe beans.
While I was bedridden, alone, he was the only cat that came to check in on me, snuggled next to me. He's my familiar.

(I mean, I haven't written one and probably never will but still, that's just rude.)
It's all part of my (yet-to-be-peer-reviewed) Nested Dolls climate model.
No need for refollow 😊

Speaking of, Doom told me about whale earwax being an indicator of age the other day. I have done it! I produced a human who educated me on trivia I had not hitherto known.
the list, plus short-term muting of strategic words to get a break, have made it better
I have enough to be interested in posts but not so many that I'm going all Alice in Wonderland.

People who follow thousands of people just to get followed back are worthless follows. It means literally nothing for me to see them following.
they chose to aim their attention at you, and that's their spoons
your attention is not a public resource, it's yours to attenuate per your own needs or interests
if they want a follow back, they'll be interesting lol
I'll also follow you later regardless! But just so we're clear I won't follow you into any *really* sketch situations - ominous buildings, ancient woods, the last Sears, etc.
No, after YOU
You should earn followers by posting stuff folks want to read, not by hitting “follow” ten thousand times and hoping a good percentage of them follow back to be polite.
Perhaps a suggestion?
Maybe put the people you really really want to see into lists separately for them; then you can go to a list and see the people you really want to.
I'm in the midst of doing that, but it takes time. 🍀
I follow you and other authors for two reasons:
* Book information
* Pet pictures
You succeed on both counts!
😆Anyways...
