Pro Tip: If you want to avoid recreating the twitter site, instead of amassing followers, pick a few like minded folks from your interests out of the feed and just enjoy hanging out.

They'll help you find others and pretty quickly you'l have a nice little comfy group.

While J keeps us safe from trolls, we can also keep ourselves happy by just enjoying our interests and letting the rest roll by in the firehose.

Also on the plus side, there's no algorithm that's going to boost you if you have more followers.

You're either in the Friends Feed or you're not, everything else is chronological in the fire hose.
