Are we part of the aristocracy? Because if so i agree.

I'm hoping new feed algorithms will make this better, but I also think that this will naturally happen as new clients emerge and new ways of tracking relationships emerge

lol I'm always surprised when ppl have that perception. I've frequently felt like I didn't belong here because:
1. I'm not libertarian
2. I don't suck pmarca's toes
3. I think nfts are about as interesting as any other datastructure
4. I'm not e/acc

Just those 4 have frequently been enough to make me feel out of place

I understand that the goal of the mechanism is to get you to compare your followership to everyone else's. But we know how that ends

It's a fine mechanism to start with but it has pathological properties and we should aim as best we can to replace it
