@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz luckily, attention isn't quite the same thing as personal interaction ^^
a lot of peeps with pretty big followings are mostly overwhelmed by people treating them as if they are exclusively the "dispenser of the thing that made them popular", and not someone who has feelings too
so a lot of them kinda stonewall new interaction
i mean, i'm not very popular, and i've had people try to get close so they could score some free art
being introduced mostly gets rid of the possibility
