With something like CounterSocial, you have to ask yourself the question I and many others asked themselves when we joined Twitter more than a decade ago: “How can I add value to the site so that I’ll get better follows and interaction?”
People on Twitter used to understand that you get what you put in. With the maturation of social media, that truth has been lost, and so most people are just posting crap.
Because I’ve busted my ass curating my followers over the years, I still find considerable value in Twitter, but that value has been diminishing at an alarming rate, and may not survive much longer.
@John_Scotus Follow count matters little here. Interaction is the key.
@peemee @John_Scotus All are equal in the eyes of the community firehose 
I think many of us who have enjoyed it for a while have appreciated being more sincere, and less self-conscious, if that makes sense.
The larger character limit per post allows for more well-developed thoughts and that can go a long way to communicating what matters or is interesting to you.
@John_Scotus i myself am wondering; how will this site not ultimately be infiltrated by bots and zealots, and bigots and frauds?
@hi_hat_truth It’s up to the guy who runs the site and to the users who police it. Banning whole countries from the platform was a good start, I think.
@John_Scotus i wonder what it will take for the big news orgs to join. also, i wonder who is currently the most famous celebrity on here.
@hi_hat_truth I wonder that as well.
With so many people on Twitter, it has been possible for a while to take advantage of it as a broadcast medium without adding anything of value. Effectively, the ease of this was turning Twitter into a garbage pail.
