Contrasting with https://icosahedron.website/users/Trev/updates/917
If I follow you, it don't mean shit in terms of social recognition or your personal awesomeness. Maybe I hate you. It just means I saw an interesting conversation you participated in once, and I'm hoping there'll be more. I have a high tolerance for scrolling past uninteresting or annoying posts.
OTOH, if I unfollow you it means just as little. Maybe you have clever and relevant posts all the time and I love you and met you once and bought you drinks, it's just that your posting frequency drowns out everyone else, and I trust that anything super interesting you say will percolate to my stream from others anyway.
It's not a popularity contest. If we have meaningful conversations, we have meaningful conversations, and I'm glad for it and will probably strike up more.
Did i just sperg out a tiny bit?
