2500 followers and Twitter has been quite fun and engaging so far!
Follower milestone AMA time!
And introduce yourself if you want in the replies :-).

It felt important to me to tweet about covid early on, when it seemed both urgent and neglected.
So the sense of purpose was nice, but I don’t find news cycle tweeting that intrinsically rewarding, even though it seems to get more engagement.

I also wouldn’t say tweeting about parenting is that intrinsically rewarding either though?
I always feel kind of nervous saying anything substantive about parenting...
Clearly I do it though!

More relevant than which topic I’m tweeting about, I think for me tweeting is most intrinsically rewarding when I get to figure out or clarify something by doing it.
Either in the act or writing it, or in how people respond.
And of course likes are rewarding too.

I don’t really know why I follow 1000 accounts. It seems like a lot to me too!
But my timeline ends up good, so I think it’s working okay?

Some of it is that insofar as people are engaging with me or people I know, all else equal I want to know about and form a model of them.
Like, I want to understand the landscape of the corner of Twitter I’m participating in, and following 1000 people seems good for that.

Oh, I wish I had kept track :-(. That seems like a pretty valuable thing to know!
I should probably try to look at people more when they follow me to get a better sense.

I suspect I have gotten many of the followers I most value (who didn’t already know me outside twitter) bc Visakan plugged me.
When quite big, especially more political, accounts retweet me that can be a pretty mixed bag in terms of who engages.

You were one of the people where I noticed when you followed me, bc I recognized your name. And I did wonder what made you decide to follow, so thank you very much for telling me!
We homeschool, and I would love to be home with my kids for the next 20 years!
It wouldn’t shock me if I ended up having a job at some point though, especially when my youngest kid gets older. Or if there were a cool part time thing.

I know I’m out of touch in many, many ways :-/.
Didn’t mean to crow, though I see what you mean.
I am definitely following the riots, and don’t think I have a lot to add to that discussion personally.

I also don’t particularly favor a norm where it’s shameful to be visibly haveing unrelated fun when consequential and terrible things are happening.
Do you think I should?
