   At some point in the next few weeks, I'm going to hit 1K followers.

   That seems so weird to me.

   Do I get a candy cigar or something?

     I'm not sure how many of that 1K followers are still active, though. A lot of people have left the Fediverse since I first landed here during space nazi's takeover of Twitter.

     Bluesky has siphoned off A LOT of people.

     @timberwraith @wendinoakland @bmacDonald94 Same. I had like maybe 250-300 mutuals on Twitter where half of them were dormant

     @wendinoakland @bmacDonald94 Me too!

     At Twitter, I was mostly ignored, save for a small circle of friends.

     @timberwraith @bmacDonald94 I’ve never been this popular. And with such cool bunch of nerds!

     @wendinoakland @bmacDonald94 1200 is a nice number. I like it.

     I might feel cheered when/if I hit 1300 because I love the number 13.

     @timberwraith @bmacDonald94 I’m teetering on 1200, but someone cut out, so from 1199, to 1198… the struggle continues…

     @wendinoakland @farah @timberwraith ~ Agreed. There aren't any sharp edges to the humor here. I also relish the helpfulness of my tribe. 💕

     @bmacDonald94 @farah @timberwraith On fb there were people I knew, but didn’t really choose, people connected by other people, but not really sharing the same sentiments… and there was also so much unavoidable contrarian crosstalk. I’m all for a discussion, but there were no tools to protect yourself or your conversation. The Fediverse is imperfect, but so much better. And sillier.

     @farah @timberwraith @wendinoakland ~ Here in Mastodon, we have more real members and have to find them on our own. I think that is where we really feel the connection. Not too much different than meeting in person. I have gained many more real friends here than I ever did on Facebook. ❤️
