i don't think the specific numbers really matter honestly, i'm just joshing around with that 😛 more about who's gotten stale, who did you think was interesting but they're kinda just stuck on the same take over and over now, etc. etc. etc.
yeah I suspect there are even more than a few mutuals with whom I’d be like… wait who are you?
which just means I should be more selective to start with
actually i've lowered my cutoffs for both following and unfollowing. i don't mind taking a chance on people who look promising and then unfollowing a few days or weeks later if it doesn't seem to be working out
it helps to remember that good tweets from nearby people will just resurface on my TL eventually so i don't really have to worry about unfollows being gone forever
okay so "mutuals" is when people follow each other
but what about two people who have enough meta-mutuals that they see plenty of each other and interact fairly regularly without actually following each other?
here's a toast to those relationships!
