@dansup thoughts about follower counts: why do we still keep them?

I did some IG this week to promote a new community I'm building up right now and noticed after a day that my follower count dropped. Of course I felt bad specially as it's work from my heart that I was promoting. And very likely it was just 2 bots being closed. But I asked myself why do we keep track on those? Why not round the number up to the next 10s or 50s or so for more peace.

@dansup 2/2 and I recently saw that you can disable those numbers in Pixelfed! Which is wonderful. Would just love if the UI would hide the field then and not showing: 0 followers
