In case you are wondering why I have 4.7K followers and only 182 follows, here is my policy:

If you follow me, you post at least once a week, and you interact with me directly and respectfully from time to time, regardless of your opinions, I will usually follow you.

I have no interest from most people to hear what they have to say and make that a one-way endeavor. So i usually follow people who will engage in enjoyable conversations, and i gain more enjoyment from a difference of opinion than people who agree a bit too readily. So I often have people I follow who do not represent my own views, but are otherwise respectful.

If you regularly use racial slurs or attacks at entire groups of people (black, white, green, doesn't matter the group) I will unfollow you usually. If you are antagonistic and misrepresent other peoples stated intentions, I will unfollow you. If your account hasnt posted anything in more than a month, I will unfollow you. If you exhibit political dogma, religious dogma or dogma of any kind I will likely unfollow you, but with the note that I do appreciate religiously or politically active people who do not exhibit dogma in their reasoning. This last point (dogma) is more a pet peeve to me than anything offensive.
