... going out of my way to "lure" dolphins and orcas to my account seem quite a dirty and low tactic to me.
I think as long as you are mixing up who you speak to, there is no harm in this if done right.
I would just dare to say that there's a generation of red-fish/minnows that just didn't survive.
Possible, if not a bit sad.
Yeah, but the power dynamics are still a lot different than just having a school of peers that you're more naturally growing up together with, as bigger fish are always going to be at least at the back of their minds a bit suspicious of your intentions - are you here just to target them for votes?
I remember more often than not I was deliberately NOT commenting on @Rok-Sivante posts even though I would have had a lot to say, just not to creep him out and make him feel like I'm targeting him, because a lot of small fish were doing exactly that. I for one was just really enjoying the kind of content he was creating.
Luckily for me, in the midst of all of that noise he has eventually noticed a person behind that pesky, persistent tiny red-fish, so I no longer have to worry about freaking him out with my comments. ^^
..Or like you just following me, also feels icky - oh, a pitty-follow.. I don't need that! xD I am by no means trying to complain here, I'm just a tiny fish voicing her observations, journey and loss of "my crowd". Natural selection has done its thing, and maybe I'm just slightly cautious in trying to find a new crowd, lest the same destiny befalls them too..

I think you're overthinking it a little xD What's the worst that can happen by commenting on a bigger account? :D
I hope over time you'll feel more comfortable in general ^^
Good luck!
..mm.. well, it's more intricate than that.
I'm not overthinking. I might be overfeeling.. and overly sensitive to unspoken borders/boundaries in people's energies. I am also very perceptive of when people are being genuine and when they are "fake-kind", or even when they are bulshitting themselves. I have zero interest in bulldozing someone over just for some arbitrary "gain for myself", as I know from experience how draining that can be on the recipients' end.
It's not about "What's the worst that can happen by commenting on a bigger account? :D" but more about if I make the other person feel uncomfortable, drained and like I'm leaching on them or on the contrary, that I'm someone that can bring about some sort of value - maybe not with my dust upvotes, but maybe in a whole different manner.
The fact that our society has been "normalized" in people bulldozing one another over with their energies, that's a whole subject on its own one would have to take a separate deep dive in. ;)

Ahh that makes more sense and I agree! (Am also sensitive, admittedly I find text energy harder to sense than in person) Which is why I at least try to be clear with what I'm saying usually.
Aww based on your energy I doubt you'd drain someone, likely opposite :)
Yeah it's not like school where you are same age, similar 'level', but we do have one thing in comment - we are all here :)
ha :) Well you are a new face to me, here commenting with some interesting points on my blog. This is how you get followed!
Pity follows don't exist! Pity upvotes on the other hand.... 😂
Awwww... I wish you had commented more, now that I know that.
You at the very top in my favorite books. I LOVE your comments. They always make my day. 🥰
aww, stahp it you! ^^ xD
ok. 🤭
Yeah I think some of those "active" accounts maybe post once a month or so, just to test the waters. SO maybe the stats are skewed a bit and it's not so bad ^^
