I am about to say something not nice.
Will all the folks that know me please check this. I will be happy to delete it.
New people. Listen. If you were an "influencer" on the bird site. If the most important thing for you is to get a large following, for whatever reason. Marketing, or just bragging rights. CoSo might not be right for you. The # of followers you have don’t mean shit here. Never will.
We have a tradition here. It is impolite to ask for followers. Following is a personal decision.
@corlin My suggestion would be that since we are in charge of our experience, let that behaviour influence YOUR decision to mute or block.
I agree with you in principle, but I don't think we should discourage people from *being here* because they ask for follows.
Point taken.
And generally I agree.
I just get a funny feeling, maybe I am too paranoid.
@corlin We are non-crowd people suddenly thrust into a throng. It's bound to feel weird and unsettling.
