The “I’d unfollow myself” yardstick is why I have basically stopped tweeting. But I’m starting to wonder if it’s the wrong measure?

I don’t like the tweeting I’ve done this PM. If I were following myself I’d unfollow me for being annoying 🤔 I generally have clear meta-opinions on my tweeting. I think I like at most 1 in 4 of my own Twitter sessions. The session is the right unit. It has a coherent mood.

“I’d follow myself” — is this a sign of authenticity, or narcissism? It’s the smallest possible Twitter “follower loop”, the self-loop with one node. A pair of “mutuals,” where A follows B and B follows A, is only one step larger.

Makes complete sense. Frankly I need more outlets for my energies these days. It’s in the absence of them that twitter starts to look like a fraught mirror, which it is really terrible for.
