Someone asked me (rhetorically) why I post here. Also: do I want followers?
Of course it's more fun with more people. But I don't post in a way that aims to increase follower numbers:
* I post in two languages (& boost in more).
* I generally boost too much.
* I do not focus on one topic (science, politics, food, random photos, outreach, insiders clearly for astro/research colleagues, train complains, books, museum visits, etc.)
For me, it's about the random encounters. 1/3
