Serious open (for anyone) question: what makes you follow someone on twtxt? Will you just follow anyone that you come across, simply because that someone using the “decentralised, minimalist microblogging service for hackers” microblog?
@bender@twtxt.net I usually follow anyone and anything, then I unfollow when they turn out to be either not interesting or otherwise 🤣
@bender@twtxt.net On twtxt, I follow all feeds that I can find (there are some exceptions, of course). There’s so little going on in general, it hardly matters. 😅
And I just realized: Mutt’s layout helps a lot. Skimming over new twts is really easy and it’s not a big loss if there are a couple of shitposts™ in my “timeline”. This is very different from Mastodon (both the default web UI and all clients I’ve tried), where the timeline is always huge. Posts take up a lot of space on screen. Makes me think twice if I want to follow someone or not. 😅
(I mostly only follow Hashtags on Mastodon anyway. It’s more interesting that way.)
@bender@twtxt.net I follow feeds that are somewhat interesting to me. At least for the most part.
