I can't help but wonder where all those followers come from. I've never encountered most of them before they wanted to follow me.
I guess I end up on #
FollowFriday lists at least bi-weekly, half of them without even saying what this channel is about.
BTW: If you follow me, and I follow you back, that's because of a technical limitation of #
Hubzilla. (Again, no, I'm not on #
Mastodon; surprised?) If you want to follow me, I have to confirm the connection. This is optional and not a default setting, but it's very convenient. However, by confirming a connection, Hubzilla automatically follows it back.
Result: The more followers I have, the more my stream (= personal timeline on Mastodon) ends up being cluttered. At least until I manage to get the filters on Hubzilla improved.
