This place is going crazy now with the follow back lists. Like old Twitter. Usually benefits the person putting one up. All a game. You can get 40k followers and you are still gonna just have a hand or two full that you interact with much. Find your peeps and friends. Ignore the number chasing - ThreadSky

🎯!!!

Just gets annoying sometimes when I come on and just see lots being reposted in my feed 😑😭😆

greeneyedlizard.bsky.social•65 days ago

My TL here is clogged with lists. I know there are ways to curate my feeds better, but it feels overwhelming and I usually just run away 🥺

ngb2020.bsky.social•65 days ago

You can try adding the only posts feed and you’ll just see original posts from peeps

greeneyedlizard.bsky.social•65 days ago

Thank you 😊

ngb2020.bsky.social•65 days ago

That one helps a bit

ngb2020.bsky.social•65 days ago

It does get annoying. Old Twitter used to drive me crazy with it all even though I was on a lot of the lists

greeneyedlizard.bsky.social•65 days ago

It got to the point where I really didn’t like being added to lists there, even though I appreciated the thought.

ngb2020.bsky.social•65 days ago

Fuk it used to wear me tha fuk out cuz I had to follow back and thank peeps end etc… I appreciated much but just didn’t have the time

greeneyedlizard.bsky.social•64 days ago

I understand completely lol

lasassypants.bsky.social•65 days ago

That's a good one!

ngb2020.bsky.social•65 days ago

It’s not perfect but it works

lasassypants.bsky.social•65 days ago

Yeah

lasassypants.bsky.social•65 days ago

I have 3 lists, and that's where I stay. Not doing politics, so my circle is small. It's rather enjoyable with just my favorite people... I'll probably start a new account because this one is too big... and I don't plan to follow any of them back. 😬

greeneyedlizard.bsky.social•65 days ago

I have no patience for following back if people aren’t interacting. I feel bad, because I know people expect it, but endless vetting just isn’t how I want to spend my time.

ngb2020.bsky.social•65 days ago

Ha. I’ve had some odd ones. One lady had in her profile that she was working for a big architecture firm I’ve done work with and seemed legit and I followed back and they messaged me right after and I ignored and account is now gone 😑😭😆. It’s all annoying AF

greeneyedlizard.bsky.social•64 days ago

The messages give me anxiety. Like strangers bursting into my house, but instead of calling the cops, I’m supposed to feed them. I always feel guilty when I try to enforce boundaries.

ngb2020.bsky.social•64 days ago

Yeah. If it’s someone I’ve talked to here or on Twitter a bit I’ll always answer back but it’s those ones that message right after a follow back. At least maybe laugh at one of my jokes first and say you like my food 🤓🥳😆

lasassypants.bsky.social•65 days ago

Same.

ngb2020.bsky.social•65 days ago

Fucker best follow me back 🤬😆

lasassypants.bsky.social•65 days ago

😅

veepersonalchef.bsky.social•65 days ago

It was never about numbers for me. Here or on the dead bird.

ngb2020.bsky.social•65 days ago

Hey ya. You are one of the ones I miss. We all got split up a bit

veepersonalchef.bsky.social•65 days ago

We got separated by Elmo but I am rarely on social media during the day. Tons of work and taking care of my 89 yr old Mum. I miss sseing your posts and wondering how your daughter is. I hope that she is well and we need to get back to food nights!💃Keep some sanity in our universe.🥰

ngb2020.bsky.social•65 days ago

I’ll figure out the food nights and I’ve been working on. Need to liven this place up a bit. Gonna have to use some outside poll things maybe. Yeah life can take a toll. Sending well wishes to your mom. Daughter is good. More or less. She had about 5 days of chemo between Xmas and New Year’s Eve

veepersonalchef.bsky.social•64 days ago

🥰

g-moneygma.bsky.social•64 days ago

I’m not sure about the algorithm here bc many of the pp I follow, like you, don’t come across my feed as much as I would like & I have to search you out. I don’t have that many. Maybe I need to learn more about the app

ngb2020.bsky.social•63 days ago

The algorithm is odd or different. I’ve messaged them lots about fixing it and other things. Hopefully they do. I’ve often gotta spend the time to search for peeps too

vicki909.bsky.social•66 days ago

100%. And the topper are the ones who say numbers don’t matter to them when it reality, it does. Phonies.

ngb2020.bsky.social•65 days ago

I actually kinda like my smaller account now here. Still have my friends for the most part and interactions

skasey.bsky.social•66 days ago

Exactly….

ngb2020.bsky.social•65 days ago

Ty here were times was back on Twitter where it felt like every other post I saw was some list. Gets tiring

ngb2020.bsky.social•65 days ago

Lordy you liking made me see how badly I effed that one up 😭🥳😆. *there were times back on Twitter…

skasey.bsky.social•65 days ago

I read somewhere that the brain actually sees the correct words without even knowing…I just saw your error after you pointed it out…😁

ngb2020.bsky.social•65 days ago

Ha. It’s true. When I do business and other emails I’ll sometimes read back though it twice before sending but on places like this I’m not as careful

skasey.bsky.social•65 days ago

I remember the time when my boss was sending an email to a PI at the NIH…she started by saying “Hell” Dr. x….😲, he replied…I know now things are really bad over there…. We had a really good laugh, and he always sends her emails that start with Hell 😂….
