I have no idea how it happens but I routinely and by complete accident run into Twitter accounts of people I know. And I don’t even know any people. I’m practically a recluse. There are supposed to be billions of accounts, but I somehow accidentally run into somebody familiar every now and then.
The way it happens is I read a comment to a comment to another comment, and when there are finally only two commenters left in the thread, one of them is a former colleague or somebody who used to read this blog but then got upset because my brain isn’t a 100% copy of theirs.
What I’m saying is that Twitter doesn’t recommend these accounts to me. I stumble on them in comment threads.
And yes, I now use a lot of Twitter because it became fun and useful after Musk took over.
