 it's pretty much what my feed was on my bitcoin dev twitter account, minus the toxic trolling, so not disappointed in that regard 😀 

at some point on my old twitter i had 20k or so followers, but if i posted anything personal or not about bitcoin it got like 0 engagement 😀 doesn't feel that different here, bitcoin social media does seem to select for a certain type of person that likes very specific topics only, and if you're not in that group then it can be kind of lonely

 Yeah, that's probably why I was never really "in" Bitcoin Twitter, even though I followed people who posted there. The subject interests me and I stack sats, but I'll never be ThatBitcoinAccount. My interests are too varied.

Most of the people who followed me on Twitter didn't know that I'm a software developer, funnily enough. Spoke about techy stuff so rarely, that hardly anyone picked up on it.
