One problem w/ Twitter is that it can be hard to get much engagement at all @ <1000 followers. Social incentives push toward more replies, fewer top-level tweets. And I think a lot of the potential value is in getting those fleeting spur-of-the-moment ideas out therehttps://twitter.com/webdevMason/status/1047148366637883392 …
A lot of the conversation is driven — and users’ attention directed — by public figures, which is in many ways very good, but I don’t think we should be under any illusions that this is an idea meritocracy. There’s an interesting social credentialing system at play
It’s been interesting to watch from my end, since even though a lot of my popular tweets are silly stuff (see: idiot poodle), my following remains a pretty homogenous crowd suspiciously representative of the *followers of the public figures who follow me.*
I wish there was a good way to find out whether more top-level tweets would drive away the most desirable followers (“tweets too much” is a thing!) or gather more of them.
People who are concerned about too many top level tweets have less to worry about from tweeting too much than those who do not.
Yep. I learn a lot from Twitter, but it’s almost all consumption with some replies. I want to tweet more, but it’s hard to when I know that few would see the tweets
I see them. #influenced
I definitely feel this. After reading and speaking to others with larger followings, it seems like ~1k-2k is an optimal follower count.
At that point, most q’s earn a number of responses with high signal:noise.
And iirc, @visakanv found that quality begins to decline around 5k?
There’s more unwanted noise but I still prefer it to having fewer followers because there are more quality responses too. Just takes a while to recalibrate your fingertip feel
It's hard to get there. My following has naturally plateaued at 370, and people will unfollow and follow at the same rate so it just fluctuates around that number
You need way more popular people to like you. I get like 30+ new followers whenever @sknthla tweets about me
