Your article is so great and useful, Meike! <3 And it made me think now... Usually, If my new follower is a dev I always follow them back and I can't see what they tweet as I use my lists always. So thinking now, why I follow them back? Maybe to cheer them up? :D Because most of them are newbies? It's silly...
So I agree about the 4th part. I have several lists of people I like to read, people who are amazing devs, Vue devs and etc, and this is the best way for me to use Twitter and helps to save time a lot:)

Thank you so much, Thea! <3 Actually, I love that you follow other devs back, especially under the aspect that you probably do so because you want to encourage them and make them feel welcomed in the community (especially people who are new to it). [Wow, this makes me nostalgic, thinking of when we met on Twitter and how you were one of the very first people I connected with. Thank you. ♥] This part is not silly at all! Engaging in these conversations, I have started to think a lot about my approach to Twitter too, and maybe I am sometimes actually a bit too strict. I really like the idea of utilizing lists even more, the way you and Max do, so that the whole following process isn't even that much of an important topic anymore. Thank you so much for sharing these infos about your way of using the platform! :)
