      At the risk of being entirely too self absorbed, some musings on having ten thousand followers. Twitter is clearly a video game, and for a certain type of person (monomaniacal min-maxers; me) there is a kind of fixation or compulsion to make numbers bigger

      There is a curious effect when one thinks in terms of numeric milestones, wherein goalposts become objects of obsession, and then the moment they are reached, apathy. As Nietzsche said, the moment he reaches his goal, he transcends it

      Of course the special magic of twitter is that the game loop consists of wrangling engagements out of other actual people. Some play for approval, others for outragehttps://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1047843422336212992 …

      When you engage in a mechanic it feeds into another mechanic, and that mechanic feeds back into the first one, each modulating goal-achievement in the other. This is called a loop

      Either way, it’s exactly as pointless as any other multiplayer game. One of the best mini-games is mocking people who take it too seriously, which isn’t to say that I’ve never gotten caught up

      The strategy to get big on twitter is to get noticed by bigger accounts than you and say the kinds of things they are likely to retweet.https://twitter.com/mmay3r/status/1097817412341133313 …

      I’ve never read a guide on “how to build a twitter following”. By definition, instructions are a way to become undifferentiated.

      However many followers you have, write to the biggest accounts that follow you. Doing this intentionally is inauthentic, of course. Then again, if a big account follows me I will often write a thread that I think will interest them, simply out of a desire to communicate

      Size is relative, of course. 10k, paltry! Of course anons are playing a different game from people who are real life famous. Our brains can’t really process what it means to send a message to ten thousand people, let alone half a million.https://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1042165403487617025 …

      Part of using social media is just an endless attempt to understand social media. This invisible place where we all talk to each other, it tells you, 200k people saw this thing you said

      10,000 accounts is massive. My peak Twitter enjoyment was at 50,000. I think it was you who said, “The more who read you, the less you can say.”
