Just did my weekly "I am not your audience" clearout of people that either unfollowed me or never mutually followed me so we can efficiently converse.
There seems to be a bad behavior cycle of following folks just for the sake of getting followed back, just so you can unfollow to seem "popular".🤦♂️

The acquisitions he made for our collection and the exhibitions he organized truly opened the door for experimental and contemporary art. RIP. ❤️

Human activity has caused CO2 to rocket upwards. It makes me sad more than anything. It’s sad what we are doing.”

My ultimate filtering move is mute-blocking a person adding their username (if they use a distinct one) to my filtering list so that mentions of them don't leak from my following list.
Yes, this is a little bit of a subtoot.
Hey friends!
The weather forecast today was "a lot of rain". In the morning it had changed to "rain from 3pm".so we decided to do a small hike on the local #blomberg.
