   @DrCuff we're on *social* media. If you're not being social, what's the point?🤨

   Reply. Reply often. That's how we make connections.

     Also it 100% goes without saying, thank you both for your thoughtful replies. This little post has been teaching me a lot about how beautiful the world can be outside the daily warfare being waged on what seems to be every topic.

     Much appreciate!

     I follow some “popular” people on here who are often complaining about getting replies to posts that they apparently didn’t want any replies to.

     If you want to blog without replies, then cool, platforms exist for that. I’m sure when you become internet famous, the replies might get more annoying, and maybe there are a lot more people just trying to stir shit up. But still, this is social media, replies are one of the main features.

     Yeah, have to admit most of this poll was brought about by anxiousness of the wrath of the “internet famous” bringing vengeance down upon us with their almighty fire of ego. Sometimes it’s best to just keep my trap shut, I’ve seen a few poor souls get utterly wasted by the fame machine rolling over them and the following numbers all pile on.

     If I ever get to be network famous I’ll be sure to remember us, the little people. Hehe.

     I don’t fully agree with that post. I can barely keep up with my timeline following 300 people. If something wild happened and I had 1k followers there is no way I could follow them all back.

     I’d like to think I’d at least actually reply to those that were interested in having meaningful conversations

     I do agree with your sentiment. There are plenty of people that don’t actually care to get replies.

     Okay, related to our discussion here: I just got this follow. Will this person ever actually see anything I post or care about it?

     My initial thought is that someone that follows 10x what follows them is that they are just trying to get as many follow backs as possible to inflate their numbers.

     What’s your thoughts on that?
