Not being able to see my Pi.Fyi followers for this period of time has really revealed to me WHAT I AM SEEKING when I click on Followers. here is a list of what I seek in order of importance: -proof of relevance -that the # is growing as I post more -how hot on average my followers are -community this whole app and our whole life is about connection and community, and neither have all that much to do with followers. I love my mutuals! When I engage with them I can still see and ,even better yet, I can remember them by their avatar/tone! I miss when everyone had like 22 followers on Instagram… this is like that rn and I don’t see why some of you want it to change besides to turn into Giga Influencers. and if that’s the case you clearly must’ve flopped on the capitalistic social media apps aka you can’t even hack it if you tried Xoxo Loving my Mutuals most, Esme

@CHOC_ORANGE the only thing I did like the followers list for was following people back because I feel guilty when I don’t

i see really cool/ funny/ smart people and 90% of the time they just follow me back straight away. it’s one of the joys of not having a big following — you can make more friends with strangers! i think the art of that is lost with influencer culture, because why would you follow a ‘fan’ back straight away (particularly when you have 50k plus of them?) also i’m a ‘rising user’ after posting like 6 times which gives me a huge ego boost. Small App is IN 🙌🙌

My followers know who I am and what I look like. The things I enjoy and people I spend time with are what make me an interesting person. Curate your feed with random things that you enjoy, interspersed with photos of yourself, just in case the people do forget what you look like. Make Instagram casual again, be a content curator above a content creator I guess.

I used to be so precious about my following to followers count and then I realized I just want a feed that reflects people who inspire me doing what they love and what I love and life is so much better when it’s not a competition

Let it out , legend. On friendship: have a fart contest! On relationship: maybe they’re into that sort of thing 👀 On family: I think all families at some point smell each other’s farts and I’m sure it’s part of our primordial bond.

This Cy Twombly playlist was particularly good, I also find peace in some Monet playlists. This does also apply to other forms of media, such as authors and influencers, films etc. I watched the Substance and found a lot of European 2000s house music through those lists. I just finished Cookie Mueller’s Walking Through Clear Water in A Pool Painted Black (apologies if it’s not the exact title of the book, I’m not motivated to look it up at the moment) but her lists are full of Nico and The Velvet Underground. If your favorite artists dont already have playlists, make them one yourself!
