@Malcolm_Ocean @QiaochuYuan were there any cool things, Twitter-wise, that only started happening after you hit 1-3k followers?
@visakanv @vgr are there any additional milestones between 3k and 20k?

3-5k is a very nice place to be, you get engagement on almost everything around 8-12k I remember being increasingly frustrated by having to block people beyond that there's a general increase in randos treating your tweet like a public space rather than a person's

Very much looking forward to "3-5k is a very nice place to be, you get engagement on almost everything" and honestly kinda wishing that after that phase there would be a way to add strategic friction to people following me something between locked & not-locked account...pic.twitter.com/KBNNGN29rl

Gonna ideate briefly on how I might implement such a feature: - obvious

hybrid: anyone can see all of my tweets but have to ask to follow
- visible, but disable new follows altogether for a day
- someone can't follow me until they've

The last one (N
s) seems great because:
1. anyone who's been enjoying my tweets for awhile can instafollow
2. if not, they have to read through my older tweets first AND like them. This adds 3 frictions:
- simple time delay
- bored people will bounce off
- haters don't wanna

I know it's a 100% gameable proxy, but I think what I'm saying is that I think this would be enough that haters mostly wouldn't bother.

i agree, but that wasnt what i was getting at consider: you want people with good tweets to be responding to your tweets so, instead of making sure its people who enjoy your tweets who follow you, make sure its people whose tweets you enjoy who follow you

Oh yeah, I considered something like that... I think I dismissed it because "you can only follow me if I've liked one of your tweets" does incentivize people to send you a bunch of tweets. They do have to model what you like, but still, it could be noisy.
