Since the big twitter exodus I've had some truly vile MAGA trolls but a much larger number of incredibly weird and rude RESIST people. It's almost impressive that they can get so confused and offended by an account that just posts cats and sanctuary animals.
(before anyone twists this or takes it out of context, I am politically very left but in my personal experience the resist follow-back people can be very rude, aggressive, and entitled.)
Jesus Christ. A lady just asked me why I don't follow anyone back. I explained, "Because I like having a calm, quiet timeline." This was her reply and then she blocked me.
I'm sold on these people all being Nazis trying to rope everyone into team followback so they wind up with a bunch of mutual followers with everyone else and blend in via the theory that someone must've vouched for them.
i think a lot of these people, the sincere ones at least, think that the reason they didn't wind up with five- or six-figure followings is that they showed up too late last time, and so it's unfair that it's not happening now, where they showed up a year late
There’s also a belief now that a large following means you can monetize it in some way. It’s almost expected. Twitter was built on people who just happened to have a weirdly popular hobby, not those who see it as a way to grow their substack or get free shit from brands.
They also absolutely cannot understand that following several thousand people would make sites like this unusable, because they've only ever had to "follow back" a much smaller number and think that just maps to all experiences even when scaled.
i love social media users who think they should be able to curate their experience and also curate your experience, like please do be fucking all the way off
kind of sad that the guy who came up with the term did not see a groundswell of followers which would have turned him asymmetric. maybe that's the cliffhanger for season 1 and the narrative arc for season 2
it's my absolute favorite thing when the absolute weirdest/stupidest motherfuckers in the room sit around and jaw about how everyone else is weird and dumb
i’m not sure what the problem is, i have over 13k beautiful sweethearts who follow me and aren’t actually ever logged in or active in any way on this platform
lmao these bitches, i follow who i want to follow, and i am never following more than 1,000 people. frankly i follow too many as is. should cut it down to like 200 or 300 at most.
