Dude, what do you want, meaningful conversations or a fan club?
(I was as perfectly happy when I had a literal handful of people I was engaging with here eight years ago as I am now. Remember the Dunbar number, people. Remember quality over quantity. Small is beautiful and all that.)

@aral The thing is, we've let corporate social media conflate "communication" & "broadcasting" as if they're the same thing, which is also why TikTok is referred to as social media, even though it absolutely isn't. This has turned social presence (often including IRL!) into a personal branding exercise & a lot of people aren't even aware of it - all they have is confused, unrealistic & mostly undesirable expectations, foisted upon them by someone else entirely against their interests...

@aral @briankrebs THIS. I’m not here to get followers, I’m here to make friends.

@wendynather @aral Exactly. If I cared about followers, I would just pick up again on that other site.
