I've seen some pushback against "big accounts" coming here from twitter and usually the criticism is something like they don't like people who follow a 100 people but are followed by thousands and like... you do realize that it's ridiculous to expect someone to follow thousands of accounts because they get lots of follows, right?
I follow 1,100 or so people on twitter. It was way too much and made me actively unhappy *and* made me miss posts from the people I cared most about even on the reverse chronological feed. It's pretty unrealistic to expect people to get firehosed by a feed of thousands of people just because they're popular and you think they must be stuck up if they don't
@eniko There are some really weird attitudes on Mastodon from certain groups of people about what should or shouldn't be on it.
Frankly, any time these things come up, it's people with too much time on their hands who should go be productive doing something else than nitpicking on what others choose to do.
@eniko "We shouldn't allow x or y on Mastodon at all, they don't belong here!" - something I've seen recently and just... sigh.
@gamingonlinux yeah I feel some people are using the blank slate to be punitive towards things they personally didn't like on twitter

@eniko 300ish seems like a nice number. There’s always something new in my feed but it’s not overwhelming
