RE: Pushing All The Right Buttons

Good morning. This is a subject that we have talked about in the past. A few months ago I asked you about unfollowing some people and your advise was do what you want, if you are no longer interested in their stuff, why follow. The conversation went something like that. Well before I had a chance to par down my list of 112 people that I was following the computer did it for me.
About two months ago I opened up my #hive account and it said that I was not following anyone. A little panic set in and I waited a day to see in the matter would correct itself. The next day it still said that I was still following 0, like in no one.
At that point I started to refollow all of the folks I could remember.
Presently my follow list is at 51. A few people asked me why I was no longer following and an explanation was necessary. Occasionally I'll run into a post and realize that person was on my follow and immediately refollow.
From 112 to 51, that is a big difference.
I'm sure that there are some folks that I would like to follow again, but many of them are people that I didn't engage with and that's the reason I can't recall them.
The positive thing about the computer deleting my follow list is that it gave me lots of room to start following some new people.
It is only a button, but I wish that pushing it would have been left up to me, not the computer gods.
Have yourself a great day.
My man! Good morning Sweed, I see you must be staying warm upstate, figured that's what you were doing.
I remember you telling me that. I guess I didn't realize the severity of it at the time, zero?? I've never heard that from anyone except you. What a weird glitch. I dig your silver lining in the whole thing.
Everyone's too sensitive over clicks these days, Bob. I can't emphasize too enough. They're burning down houses, cutting wrists, hijacking and kidnapping all Cuz someone unfollowed them or disliked them or however the :click: of a button translates. I see these stories and it's alarming.
Thanks a lot for checkin this one out @thebigsweed, always a pleasure when you stop by. Always a pleasure knowing I got your support. And I remember that unfollow.... shoot, you followed me back so quickly I knew it was just a bug.
