If I was being really honest with myself, I think twitter stopped being healthy for me at around 5000 followers. (This isn't actually me being honest with myself. It's just me noting it abstractly and taking absolutely no action because social validation hits good.)https://twitter.com/jordantcarlson/status/1174000150055964672 …

Like, boundaries are really healthy! But the higher you go in follower count, the fewer boundaries you have. Or, more accurately, for a possibly bad analogy, surface area of your spherical reach increases with the square of your social radius -- that's a big attack surface.
