So when I see ppl with thousands of followers speaking openly about their life/issues I'm like: how do you even cope?
I would be petrified. I almost don't tweet anything anymore b/c I don't want to handle the response.
I noticed something: I feel like I managed to speak openly more easily here even though I barely knew anyone here a few days ago.
I know a lot of ppl on Twitter but the fact that ~900 ppl might read my ramblings is a bit scary.
It's #music time! Some french electro/ambient(?) w/ Jacques in the Box by the one and only Laurent Garnier
@gzt supposedly you re-hit the boost button but I guess it depends on whatever client you're using
@gzt that's fine haha don't worry.
WHY ARE Y'ALL BOOSTING A TOOT WHERE I SAY I DON'T FEEL GOOD ;_; That's weird.
@lanodan_tmp @natecull I know, I know. I just like me some sarcasm sometimes.

@b my point still stands :p
@live I guess I should just make a small-ish blog editor that goes like "OKAY WRITE A PARAGRAPH" on and on and then I'd write a blogpost out of that.
Why is it that somehow I can go on long-ass tirade in a 140/500 chars input field but not in a text-editor where I can write an infinite amount of text?
Me: I don't want to go into details about <thing>
Also, me: write 600+ characters about <thing>
I can't help myself :'D
hiding follow counts from all but the user doesn't solve anything much. you still fret over lost follows. you still police your thoughts to keep them in line with your followers. if you cannot be authentic with the world knowing you have 10k followers, you won't if you hide that number either, because the sticking point is in your mind. you are only a commodity if you make yourself into one.
The classical "You're not your users" thingy.
I've had that kind of exp first when working on the UI of VLC on macOS back in 2012, and I've had that kind of exp at my current work a lot. You can't "simply <change thing>" when thousands of ppl (and possibly as much use-cases) exist.
