people can be silly, but overall Jerry, your posts frequently evoke a wry sense of... "yeah he's going quietly insane and he's just wanting to make sure he's not alone in doing so". I appreciate that and obviously others do too!
What's a "good post"? One that is researched, accurate, balanced, true? Or one which makes the reader laugh? Or which panders to the reader's biased perceptions and conspiracies and makes them feel like they are correct and supported in their view?
you just need to get to 5 figures! theyll start getting funny and you'll be happy it'll all be worth it when you hit 10k its too late to stop now keep going!!
Please don't skip!!️!!️

With due respect, it would be nice to be able to comment on more of your posts. The selective comment permission filter is annoying. Why make the post visible if you don’t allow comment. (High speed rail post as an example). This was an X feature we didn’t need here, in my opinion.
Jerry, you seem to have replies blocked on your post about bullet trains. I'm not sure why you are doing that but I was going to post a reply agreeing with you. I recommend you allow replies and just block the trolls.
Hi Jerry, I’m new. I keep going to the “media” column and it continually says “bad response” and sends me to the “feed server.” Apparently, that’s you or is it? Any thoughts?
the best way to view your media is in your profile. there's a "media" tab next to "posts" and "replies." you haven't posted any media which is probably why the media *feed* is coming back with an error
You should have won me over with the bread post but usually I grow my feed by letting people mostly find me then I follow back. My Twitter grew to almost 3k that way but it took many years. I don’t like social media hustling.
Once you've saved & pinned some of these that interest you, you can put them all into Following if you want. So everything's in one place. I loved that when I first got here! Super useful.
In my case, both on Twitter and now here... the follower total is more "Marissa happens to be really happy with following others" although my posting style might work better here than over there as I'm not ragebait material.
I often look to see how many of those 'followers' are fake accounts. Thousands of 'followers' can mean someone is only looking to grow and enable their sense of worth and identity as opposed to being an authentic person.
Personally I think curating your 'followers' is a respectful thing to do here.

Maybe they’re just waiting to have a very large audience before they say anything? I’m kind of not interested lol 😝🤷♀️
So, I look at your thread.
You’re correct.
Or you must be famous.
Or sort of famous.

Your posts, this one aside, are quite funny/good/interesting.
My regular posts? Fuckin terrible
Hmm, the feed server gave a bad response. Please let the feed owner know about this issue.
Message from server: feed provided an invalid response
🤔😉
