Why I don’t follow you
Monday 11 April 2011 - Filed under Computers
Why I don’t follow you:
- Most of your tweets are @replies.
- You retweet nice things people say about you.
- You have one-on-one conversations on the public timeline.
- You auto-reply to new followers.
- Your tweet about how awesome you are.
- You serial tweet real-time events.
- You filibuster my timeline.
- You beg for RT’s, diggs, likes, followers.
- You publicly celebrate every time your follower count can be divided by 100.
- You’re a name-dropper.
Here’s some examples of things you should never, ever tweet:
@joan we should grab lunch sometime.
RT @lolife is über fucking hot.
Touchdown!
“The 32nd smart thing this speaker just said” #somedumbconference
Only 1023 more followers and I’ll be at 2000 followers!
Why I do follow you:
- You make me laugh.
- You make me think.
- You don’t do the 10 things above.
With that said: tweet whatever the fuck you want. The only major crime is to give a shit what I think!

Narcissists crave attention. It’s what they want, so why should I give them any?
Facebook? What a joke.
When I reply to people who ask me why I don’t have a Facebook page, or won’t visit their own, that it’s because I’m not a 12 y.o. girl, or a 19 y.o. gay emo kid, for some reason they seem offended. Weird.
Notice how many people online are addicted to praise? Sometimes it starts out innocently. Maybe they do something genuinely praiseworthy. But they become used to being praised. Then they expect to be praised. Then demand to be praised. Back they come for more, with desperate bids for fawning attention.
The world is full of abject losers, who spend their days wishing they were me.
