I used autofollow for a short while, and it was obvious what was happening. Even though I was pretty good at monitoring new followers and blocking or just stopping the follow of bad actors, I still ended up with a lot of people who were not interacting with me and who I didn't want to interact with. So I spent some time manually unfollowing them, and as I notice tweets that I find offensive, I unfollow or block them.
Twitter was more fun when it was smaller and more interactive -- not a numbers game. I'm driving mine back there as well. Smaller is better.
Good post and better discussion. I don't like auto dm's, even the ones that don't pitch the individual's website. But I tolerate them. I also don't auto follow. But it's okay if you do. There's room for being different.
Like so many others, I've been touched by your sister's battle and spunk and faith -- and your writing about it. Thanks for sharing her life and yours. Blessings to you and your family in the days ahead.
Good point. And remember, percentages are somewhat misleading as not all age segments have the same number of people. Boomers (45-63 yo's) are the largest single segment of the population, and climbing fast in internet usage, including social media.
Yeah, I'm happy. Really happy.
