I don't understand what you think you're saying

I follow people only because they have a valuable contribution to make in some interest area of mine

I don't follow as a badge of anything, or to compel anyone to follow me back

And the poll itself does take a stand about the motivations for following and the insistence of a reciprocal follow-back

Perhaps you've never heard of in the very early years of Twitter

It became the butt of quite a few jokes

I was there when the old blue bird started. When you tweeted via text message, and most people outside of tech didn't "get it". I saw it start to crumble and fester.

Mastodon is finally feeling like old Twitter. I think it's a combo of the right app, the right server, and the right content creators.

I'm looking for more people to follow and followers to engage with.

I *always* check out the feed of potential Follows, and I am most emphatically **not** a member of

Someone has to at least *appear* to have something of value to offer before I'll follow them

Sorry. Not sorry

Interesting

I vet in detail everyone who Follows me

I do not belong to -- and never have belonged

That said, you and I are on two very different arcs here:

You're being a content creator

I'm a content consumer

To be quite honest (blunt?) about it: a lot of people really do not have very much to say

So why do I give up finite screen space to them?

On Mastodon, I am way more likely to follow back than I was at Twitter. I do it to almost everybody, reflexively.

I was always skeptical of over there. Still am. Who I follow informs the timeline I get. And a follow isn’t a contract. It’s like the legal boilerplate corporations insert in email—that isn’t binding. You sending me a message doesn’t create a contract.

But still. People here are great, and I’m learning who’s who and what’s what, so for now, I’m Johnny .

The other that I remember from olden times on was

Which, along with all the other Follow tags, I always thought was complete idiocy

I never did, and still do *not* people merely because they follow me

I might -- * might* -- follow you if you actually seem to have something to say

Personally I think that whole ancient schtick became uninteresting about ten years ago

About the same time became uninteresting

Do people have something interesting to say, or not?

That’s the operative criteria

*Require Follow Requests Setting*

Hi All,

Just a quick reminder to check your settings to allow for Follows. When this option is unticked, when someone follows you, you will be automatically followed.

This does allow you to vet your followers.
