imagine having 300k followers on an app that has less than 30K DAU 💀 

this is a new user deterrent; i’ve talked about this before too 

would be good to wipe the bots from follower counts 

what would you think if you were new here & saw an outsized number of accounts with 50,000+ followers getting 1-5 likes per post?

you’d think this place is a ghost town

yappin in /midwits & creating idle rpg /animarising

But wiping bot accounts would be a bit difficult as I’ve seen some real account behave and cast like bots 🤦‍♂️

yup this feels like an easy bandaid; plus no need to mess with the actual accounts

no, don’t think most care about it anymore but certainly did when daus were going up haha 

realization set in that’s it’s the same 1000 people on the feed despite whatever number is presented there 

tho i think the comparison to x is exactly where this starts to become meaningful & all newcomers will make that comparison first

they can just come back and count again 😂

i dont think any of the auto-follow lists OG's cares about the number, its a worthless vanity metric if it doesn't come accompained with the engagement you'd expect from the people for example that has 300k followers on the other app
