Serious open (for anyone) question: what makes you follow someone on twtxt? Will you just follow anyone that you come across, simply because that someone using the "decentralised, minimalist microblogging service for hackers" microblog?
@bender I usually follow anyone and anything, then I unfollow when they turn out to be either not interesting or otherwise š¤£

@bender On twtxt, I follow all feeds that I can find (there are *some* exceptions, of course). Thereās so little going on in general, it hardly matters. š
And I just realized: Muttās layout helps a lot. Skimming over new twts is really easy and itās not a big loss if there are a couple of shitpostsā¢ in my ātimelineā. This is very different from Mastodon (both the default web UI and all clients Iāve 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. š
(I mostly only follow Hashtags on Mastodon anyway. Itās more interesting that way.)

@bender I follow feeds that are somewhat interesting to me. At least for the most part.
@bender So far I've been following feeds fairly liberally. I'll check to see if we have anything in common and lean toward following, just because this is new to me and it feels like a small community. But I'm still figuring out what I want. Later I'll probably either trim my follower list or come up with some way to prioritize the feeds I'm more interested in.
