I wish I had omitted the OP’s second sentence, which set a negative tone.

My best understanding of the replies so far: (1) until Bluesky supports custom feed algorithms, following 10K+ people creates a feed some users prefer, and (2) early on, following 10K+ people tested the limits of Bluesky.

I didn’t see any reason to follow that many accounts, which is why I asked. Thank you for explaining.

I appreciate you taking the time to explain your reasons.

Perhaps certain kinds of noise can provide comfort without being distracting. Ocean waves, that sort of thing. If you’re interested, I know a web site that has adjustable generators for many such sounds. It’s donation-based, so you would not have to pay anything to try it out.

I wish that issues of social anxiety and trust could be resolved so easily.

Both here and on Twitter (which I joined last month) I almost always reply rather than posting something new. So far I’ve had an easier time finding posts I’d like to reply to on Twitter rather than here. Also, norms here seem different—e.g., despite the meme, no Interintellect promotion.

@annagat.bsky.social Speaking of low etiquette, I did not mean to insult your grandmother! Rather, I was reminded of the ranch dressing controversy and thought, “Your grandmother was the OG, knew when to break the rules, etc.”

True, she might have been much more subtle about it than ranch dressing girl

I assume that the context is teaching/guiding children, because it’s Montessori. But the quote might also apply to one’s own life. In such a view, “My long-term vision is X” is less important than “This direction is promising!”

Tried Firefox instead of Safari and was able to set my pfp and banner. (Not sure if the browser was really the problem.)
