@bender On twtxt, I follow all feeds that I can find (there are *some* exceptions, of course). There’s so little going on in general, it hardly matters. 😅

And I just realized: Mutt’s layout helps a lot. Skimming over new twts is really easy and it’s not a big loss if there are a couple of shitposts™ in my “timeline”. This is very different from Mastodon (both the default web UI and all clients I’ve tried), where the timeline is always *huge*. Posts take up a lot of space on screen. Makes me think twice if I want to follow someone or not. 😅

(I mostly only follow Hashtags on Mastodon anyway. It’s more interesting that way.)

And the Maildir size is 212MB. What size (not followers list) is yours?
Oh, and about the "There’s so little going on in general, it hardly matters. 😅", the issue *I* have with it is that it is mostly one-way junk. Why to bother following that which never engages, or spews seemingly non-sense into the air (or both!)? 😅
@bender The size … it depends. 🥴

$ du -sh ~/Mail/twt
244M /home/user/Mail/twt

But:

$ du -sh --apparent-size ~/Mail/twt
33M /home/user/Mail/twt

There are about 60k twts in there.

Regarding one-way junk: True. Looks like I mostly unfollowed those, I don’t really have that in my inbox. 🤔

These are the Top 10, btw:

$ awk '/^From: / { user[$2]++ } END { for (u in user) { print user[u], u } }' * | sort -k1rn | head -n 10
24020 "prologic"
5269 "lyse"
3928 "movq"
2285 "adi"
1985 "abucci"
1713 "mckinley"
1415 "off_grid_living"
1352 "darch"
1280 "eaplmx"
