@jack I really like this post. I also really like the fact that you cannot tell how many people a certain person has. Like you said, it almost improves the general conversation/content on micro.blog. I've learned a fair amount by stumbling around here.
@TheTechHomie Thanks, and same here. So many people have so much to teach me and I believe it's in no way related to follower counts.
@jack A couple of times while drafting, I thought about talking about the follower count stuff, but I'm glad I didn't, because you did a much better job than I would have :-)
@tones Thank you. I'm rather surprised by how much not having follower counts has added to my experience here. I like it.
@jack You make some great points. I had internalized the stats even though I told myself they didn't matter. Focussing on the people and the ideas is so much better.
@jack Thanks for your thoughts on follower counts. I really do think avoiding the numbers game is important. We're going to stick with it.
