It’s very funny there are people online I can identify by name/nickname and icon and I don’t follow on X site I see them around. Likewise, there are people I speak with on a semi regular basis that don’t follow me on X site I speak with them on.
The lesson? Follower numbers aren’t an accurate representation of the people something something human relationships something something impact and influence on individual people.
On this topic, I’ve been thinking about ways to describe the relationship with folks I’ve made the past year. Considering using the solar system as a metaphor.
