I sort of suck at the real socializing stuff and influencing, and increasingly find myself ignoring the normal OP feed and just hanging out in my mentions.
That's why I like Freerse, as it has a nice interface for "continuing the conversation". Like, I can reply to an article, comment on a git commit, highlight part of a wiki page, etc. and then switch to Freerse to respond to responses. And then other npubs see the conversation or I tag them and it's like 20 people discussing English poetry in the 1700s, or something. 😂
That is so fun!
