Collections remind me of the circles of Google . People were gaming those to try to amass followers, and it led to less variation in the feed, as most were following the same people.
For the sake of diversity in my feed, I will stay away from collections.
In Google , the ability to set my own category for my posts, and for people to follow by categories, really worked well. Some would follow my pet pictures, others my coding posts, or my humorous posts.
It focused sharing…

Five years ago, I received a 100$ regression bounty pretty much by accident for reporting a regression in #hledger [1] (what an amazing concept and stability commitment!).

That was before the slop era.
