You follow more than 1,000 people on twitter? A dozen is more than enough for me.
I’ve had an account for almost 20 years now, most of the people I follow were from back in my first business many years ago.
Now I mostly use it to follow ai or the war, so just add relevant ones slowly. But I have to unfollow someone first to do that.
Wish there was a way to control how many people follow me too so I could fix that number too.
Edit: honestly tho, I don’t think it matters who you follow these days. What shows in your feed seems to be primarily tied to who and what you interact with regardless of if you follow them. I see grummz (from the anti sweet baby inc and stellar blade censortship stuff) all the time. I don’t follow him, but do read and occasionally comment. Seems to be how the algo works now.
