The way I am doing it now is to first unfollow all.
Then go through the replies I received and follow them again
this way I will be following people who at least had a constructive interaction with me. Might kill my follower list but hey at least those that stick around will be willing to engage with me hehe.
EDIT: pfew done, feel better already, the feed was getting out of hand, lots of crap I did not want to look at, almost became Facebook ish gasp
I really hope the other Steem blockchain interfaces start to take off or that Steemit.com comes out of BETA. It has been great so far but I am feeling the limitations now...
would love to be able to follow a tag and upvote that
I just unfollowed my FOLLOWING LIST then went back into my FOLLOWER list and added them all back, mutual follows I respect its the ones I had that don't follow back and hang on that bugged me...a bunch of them were spamming lol...and eating up my feed so didn't see the point in keeping them as my follows, they don't even come to my profile anyways. I though believe you should hold the mutual follows of those following you, its kind of a respect thing because they are putting you in their feeds
I went hardcore, only followed those that replied to my posts , I will talk to the people in the slack group my reasons but I think I need to be strict to keep the metrics valuable.
I might also start to add people that upvoted, but that might get out of hand again...
lol...hey its user choice in this area, just make sure you do it as you want and keeps you organized here. Its a bit messy in some ways on that but I am sure as they get the ALPHA site done it will be easier to maintain, i hope lol
