    Maybe this is just me, but I've not experienced a degredation with new user influxes because (I'm guessing) I'm pretty careful about who I follow.

I'll bet I'm more careful. But I follow tags. And a lot of them are broad - #technology, for example. Which means either we start parsing things down to nothing, or we put a whole buncha people on ignore.

Even that doesn't solve the problem, though. Unless the tags you're following are filled by the people you'd follow if you followed people, you end up with nothing to follow. My own personal queue hasn't moved in weeks. The global stuff? Not worth paying attention to. So really, I'm successfully weeding myself out.

Except maybe I like the conversation, too. So what do?

    Of course not. Everybody knows that was Rancid.
