WHY THE FUCK DOES SOMEONE WHO 99% OF THE TIME JUST RETWEETS SHIT FROM TWITTER HAVE TWICE AS MANY FOLLOWERS THAN ME??!?!

Follow

@zeezeemoomoo Quality over quantity, etc. Not to say that retweeting stuff from twitter is necessarily bad, but either way I value the connections I build & don't bother to keep count of follower count. It's not really a measure of worth or value.

@Ulfra_Wolfe it is a measure of wroth or value when you feel constantly ignored and no one wants to interact with you

everyones always ready to interact with people who have massive follower counts

@zeezeemoomoo Aw. I don't feel that way, really. I've found a lot of friends by just talking with people I found interesting, approaching them, asking them if they have private messages, etc. Getting to know an individual past the public image helps a lot I've found.

@zeezeemoomoo @Ulfra_Wolfe

It's kind of a chicken and egg thing. People who interact themselves get more interactions.

Nobody wants to risk bothering someone that they just met, unless they see that the person apparently likes interaction. But if that person's really chatty already, then there's less of a worry that you might be bothering them.

@zeezeemoomoo @Ulfra_Wolfe Maybe say more open-ended things, so that people know what to say back?
