twitter circles were good because you could just… give people who seem to like you the option of getting to know you better, without actively having to approach them about it. i mean i never used them for this but, ahh, it would be so useful to me right now

i now have 2,600 followers on twitter, i can't do things quietly any more ;w;

(why did i cross-post this to the fediverse, it's a very different social context and this complaint doesn't really apply here in the same way)

@hikari Well the point is after that you have to become racist. Then you can transition to being a damphu thought leader

@hikari Look you can corner the market for Nepali music and then drive all the people interested in that away again

@hikari you're still very right tho. fedi would still hugely benefit from circles

circles are dead and the heyday of twitter alts is clearly ending but they still have no good replacement. i'm so sad.

@hikari I wonder whether you could hack this in on top of fedi software's support for private posts (as in, a circles post can be a private mention to each follower inside the circle)

@eta the fediverse is the last thing i want to use because it has no encryption and no real control over how many people's hands the message passes

@eta oh you definitely could do that though i am not sure i'd recommend doing it unless you can make every client out there display it in a non-confusing way

(i wanted to make an end-to-end-encrypted app that replicates the twitter alt experience, but i don't have the network effect magic pull that'd make all my friends and potential friends use it, and i'm already at risk for OSS maintainer burnout without dabbling in cryptography)
