kinda harsh no? - Capn' One Eye - adrift

What value can you provide for me if all you did is stick your social bookmarking crud into friendfeed and then leave? - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Wow, if number of likes is a primary criteria, I might as well wrap up now and call it an experience. - Cheryl

point taken. will you beat me up if I say "Is it really all about you Rah?" :) - Capn' One Eye - adrift

seems reasonable to me. - ♥patricia♥

It's an equation though. Not just about Likes or comments. There are feeds that are ONLY delicious and Digg or something. It's ridiculous. If you don't Like or even Comment much, but you have actual real activity in your feed (for instance, RPM, people I know like your stuff), you good - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

aggregator ...no interaction...meh - Susan Beebe

I guess those feeds just don't register for me enough to worry about - anything that isn't liked or commented on is hidden. Excepting the usual suspects of course. - Capn' One Eye - adrift

True, Capn. I pretty much hide all micro-blogs with no likes/comments, but it's also a personal thing. I look at a feed and see that all of it will be hidden always. Why bother giving them a follow? They would probably actually be excited about another person "listening"..LOL - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Seems like you wouldn't subscribe to your own feed. - Amit Morson

Uhm...don't really see your logic, Amit. Help me out. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Well, that certainly doesn't mean me. - Mathew™ one of a kind

Makes sense, there are plenty of people who made a FF acct once and left, but the feed still updates. I've been thinking about removing some feeds from my account precisely for this reason. Maybe FF should let us know who is an active user, like it does the rooms. - Rob Haas

Of course if you see a dead feed (no sources or posts) and you know the person, subbing them would result in an email in their inbox - might remind them they had the account in the first place. - Capn' One Eye - adrift

Well, if I know you, you obviously get a pass :) - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

That would be a cool experiment. Could a group of friendfeeders revive a dead feed if they all subbed that person at once? All of a sudden their inbox is inundated. Here's one: http://friendfeed.com/jreynol... - A FriendFeed intervention. - Capn' One Eye - adrift

Hah! That sounds interesting. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

can't we do Wil Wheaton? - WorldofHiglet

i look for comments. i've had people who don't have a single thing in their feed subscribe to me. i block them. but it their feed just looks like a dumping ground, i don't subscribe to them at all. - Admiral Anika

Sounds like A-Listers ;) Check your friend recommendation page. - Merry Xmas FFeeders - AJ

Dude I feel you there. I can't be active everyday since I don't have internet at home, but I try. I'm hoping that I don't lose subscribers over it. I do like and comment when I can, and submit articles. I have seen users who just create the account and disappear. I guess they are just testing the site and lose interest. - Dennis Jackson

Wow, arrogant much? - Charles Bihis

Charles, It's arrogant to avoid subscribing to people who are obviously not contributing to my experience? And Amit, you never explained your point. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Your actual posts go away? - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

eve, they're just being pushed down. because tons of posts come in every second especially if you have lots of friends here. you have to try to manage them in groups. - Merry Xmas FFeeders - AJ

blocked. - Paul Whitaker

Score! - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Everyone has to have their standards. Once a bar is set though, people will complain that you are being unreasonable. You do not have to listen. Blocking Rah seems a bit much though. - Rob Diana

I thought I was being quite reasonable. Taken altogether, the above criteria would make for quite a useless feed AND a person that doesn't even talk to or look at anyone else's stuff. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Rah, I do not listen to the stumbles and diggs. The 150 likes/comments is an interesting setting, but I am sure there are people that will complain even if you set the bar at 50. The point being, they might feel like you do not think they are "good enough" to listen to. Just commenting on human nature, not your "bar". - Rob Diana
