one good use case for seeing how many people someone follows is to spot the stereotypical legacy influencer who doesnβt follow people and just wants attention. Instant unfollow.

I occasionally go through my follows and try and engage. If they dont have anything interesting or just repost I unfollow.
If they do, I zap/reply in their posts.
99% of the time they follow back.

You have me muted and frequently join in with my gangstalkers harassing me
And you're replying to a post that insults everyone who doesn't follow others, e.g. me
Fuck you people
i think the worst ones are the people with a big following who don't engage. they post & absorb the attention, positive or negative like black holes.
100% this

It's crazy how many people don't notice this as a red flag of manipulative bullshit
It should be basic etiquette to continue a conversation you started, before starting 10 more topics
if anything, it's some level of narcissistic behavior.
i dont necessarily agree. There is not one way to use these tools and you get to decide what works for you. But i do agree it often is a red flag
You think it's funny that I'm gangstalked, who gives a fuck if you agree with anything?
whoa. no need for hostility. i have been observing threads & you are certainly on brand & on point on your attitude. you don't want to be ignored & muted yet you behave like you're asking for it.
Agreed
I'm not a legacy influencer
I don't follow people because Jack Dorsey's "follow me" malware model is fucking retarded and we need something more like the Aaron Swartz era reddit experience before nostr will actually be good
