   SideBand ? (ssb@infosec.exchange)'s status on Tuesday, 21-Mar-2023 22:21:52 JST SideBand ?

   So, yesterday, I went through and weeded out a few of my "followers" who only seem to boost crap. If I scrolled back more than a week and couldn't find a toot written by a person, that person was removed from my followers list and I un-followed them, as well.
   I'm here for PEOPLE, not boosts.
   I'm about to remove a bunch of people who haven't followed me back, as well, which is a shame, because from what I'm reading in these peoples' toots, they're the kind of people I want to be around: thinking, self-aware, well balanced, interesting, similar hobbies, etc.

     @ssb Why stop following people you enjoy if they haven't followed you back?

     @horse Because I'm here for personal interaction. The not following back shows a lack of mutual respect or a lack of desire to interact back.
     Why would I follow someone who doesn't show the same respect to me?

     @horse Do you keep inviting people over to your home who never reciprocate?

     @ssb Fair enough. I'm here for good information and shitposting. If there's personal interaction, that's just a bonus!

     @ssb If I like their company, of course I will! I'm not going to cease a friendship with someone because they don't like to host guests.

     @horse It's about priorities. Yours and mine are different, it seems. Nothing wrong with that - you do you - but what I want out of this platform is to learn from people who are different than me, and to share what I know to help others.
     The information and shitposts can be humorous, but that's not what I want out of my online experience.
