Good morning,
I have the wisdom of an 8 day old here on CounterSocial, so take this FWIW...
You can try to find friends and you will find some. Instead of making myself insane (for 3 days) I decided to follow the "Community Firehose."
I clicked on posts I liked. I would check out the profiles and posts and, if they looked compatible - I followed.
This will be a thread and I am not sure how those work yet, so you will have to go to my profile and click on this post to see the next one - 1/
Being a #TwitterRefuge I assumed people would follow back. That is not how it works here. It is not an insult.
Algorithms are not "a thing" here.
It is genuinely about who you WANT to follow, not about who you WANT to follow you. It is REALLY hard to wrap your mind around that concept when our egos are so attached to numbers.
At my peak, I had around 56.7k followers. This has been humbling AF, but I am growing to accept this.
This is not Twitter, so get that out of your head.

@CajunBlueAZ1 I love that you are ok with that. Íve been watching people who care about followers come in for a day and leave. Mostly bluechecks
@CajunBlueAZ1 I hope I didn’t sound callous or judged. I didn’t mean to.
@CajunBlueAZ1 It´s a wonderful environment.

Not at all. 😊 I guess I just don’t feel like I am of any higher moral caliber than the blue checks because I valued my numbers.
I will miss them and they mattered to me, and I think I mattered to at least quite a few of them.
I left before this… whatever this is. I did not want to watch weeks of Titanic - live. 😂
Fit is important. You thought you offended me and reached out. YOU are why I love it here. Kindness. It is beautiful here. 💜
