    Twitter or any “microblog”.

    I don’t understand why “following” a person/organisation would be interesting. I would rather follow a topic/community.

      You can do that. But certain voices carry extra weight within communities.

      I followed today’s Formula 1 race on both Threads and Mastodon. Both platforms allow you to follow topics and that’s what I did. But then I follow the people I find interesting as well

      Agree. When I was on Twitter I followed local bars, restaurants, and music venues for info on events and happy hours. No humans.
