    Yeah. I guess you’re right. I just don’t follow anyone and without real names it seems different

      Different kinds of social media have different focuses. Reddit and forum style have a bit less focus on the person and more focus on the content than Twitter because of how people interact with the platform itself. Twitter is very person centric, encouraging you to follow people to cut through the noise. Having communities which surface voted content puts more emphasis on the community than the individual and draw out the timeframe of algorithm engagement.
