It is the most unsatisfying feature on kbin.

We need something like this:

Eh. I think a combination of remembering how indifferently casual my sphere of tumblr and old Twitter used to be along with knowing the thing tied to reputation was initially boost instead of the formerly decorative upvote button (it's fixed now) made me fairly free with who gets it.

Doesn't have to be profound, just has to be something I really enjoyed or found important, and which I wouldn't mind passing along to others. If I would normally hand the phone over to show it off irl, y'all get to look at it. Sometimes that's breaking news. Sometimes that's just a picture of a turtle.

I have like four people following me (hi peeps, why tho?) and honestly they made that decision. If they didn't want to hear the things I wanna talk about, they wouldn't choose to follow me and they should be amending that.
