Dude has 53k followers? If you aren’t a mutual you’re a fan, not a friend. Don’t let the accumulated parasocial interaction fool you. Useful discussion requires a shared context & level of understanding, language, good faith, etc. Twitter platform does not ensure any of these.
To preserve my mental health, I rarely check my Twitter mentions. Never would be even better. If you ever get a reply from me, it's your lucky day. And if you need to contact me, use email

This is the problem of lonely humans trying to meet their interaction quota on the wire mother of social media. You’re one of a howling mob of thousands, all expecting individual attention because the platform lets your little face icon “reply” to another face icon.

Please don't check this mention and don't reply to it. I'll be ok. I think. I'll remind you by email, just in case.
