My follower count has consistently increased over time, but the number of people who actually talk to me has remained relatively constant, after a big step-change around two years ago (IIRC). What explains this? Are most of the accreted new people bots? Lurkers?

it looks like my mentions have been consistently jumping by ~500 over the past ~6 or 8 months, and then 1k-ish each month in May and June. But I wonder how well this measures the number of people I'm talking to, versus being @'d in link tweets or increasing pace of conversation

Interesting! No idea how to interpret, but a few other thoughts: May be an induced demand thing here. More likelihood people will respond → you tweet more? Are some changes harder to perceive? Avg 2 responses → avg 5 per tweet noticeable but is 5 → 10?
