For those new users coming from X or whatever else, PSA on follower counts: The people you follow are what makes up your feed. Your feed determines your experience here. There is no algo so keeping an eye on your follower/following count is entirely meaningless. There is no clout to chase down that alley and no one gives a fuck if you have an influencer ratio or whatever. In fact, with our system of relays. Your follower count is often inaccurate anyways! Just follow who you like. I like to follow liberally so I have an interesting and full feed. Good or bad, your experience here is what YOU make of it, not what some algo decides it should be. Content comes at you in real time from the people you're following. Please take this to heart as you explore and spend your time here. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿฝ #introductions

I am not used to it at first because I am so used to the algo from centralised platform. I need to change my thinking slowly. And starting to follow people i like and care about. Otherwise I unfollow them if I find it not comfortable with their contents.

Very helpful points. Thanks for sharing! ๐Ÿ’ฏ
That's exactly the way to do it. It's amazing because with no algo, follower counts don't matter. Since follower counts don't matter, there is no social pressure or negative affect to the other person for unfollowing. Your free to curate your feed exactly how you like it!
