Read on Twitter
Sometimes I look at other toku/toy/anime people.
And I realize, I could probably get a bigger following if I established a more moderate tone, tweeted more on brand, and kept personal stories to a minimum.
But that feels like such a compromise, and I'd rather be who I am.

I started this thing over a decade ago as a way to keep in touch with friends from those communities. In that time I achieved some level of reach.
There was a time when growing that reach seemed like a good idea, but now I don't think I want it.

I'm not starved for followers.
And the ones that do follow me after all of my views, passions, anger, and my own personal breakdowns are the ones who understand the way I am.
Every time I lose a follower after supporting a cause I believe in is one less bad reply I have to read.

And I have grown as a person thanks to the people that I follow, and that I admire.
My friends both online and off have helped me see a lot of perspectives that I might not have considered in my 20s.

I guess the trite way to summarize this is that I'd rather grow as a person than grow my follower count.
In an ideal world, you could have both.
But look at the replies to any big meme account (or big name fan) and you'll see what's out there.

This thread also prompted me to go through the list of accounts I'm following, and hoo boy... there was a lot of nonsense on there.
Brands that were doing giveaways, dormant accounts, people that had gone toxic, and accounts that stopped following.
I haven't pruned in years.
