i now have more "followers" on mastodon than i ever did on twitter, but followers kind of cease to be so crucial, because the local and fed timelines are chill places to be and you don't need followers to participate in them
@live social proof man. 5 years down the road you're gonna want to be the guy with 10k followers. Path to verification. Just sayin
@live like that dude with many friends in real life that people admire, because dang, he must have something important to say
@futuretro that is a fools game irl and especially online. be your own social proof life is too short to squabble for shit like that
