@4 @3 @2 @1 This sounds like a great idea!! Follow reminds me of that Twitter trash. But to connect on Twetch sounds great. I had not thought about it like this until I read this Twetch. Howz about it guys?

@852 any thoughts on changing "follow" to "connect"
Follow makes it seem like there's a leader & may convey that we aren't equal. Twetchers are Family
Asking someone to connect seems more authentic & better represents what is actually happening on-chain.

I prefer the familiar action but am open to hearing what more people think

Definitely like “connect”. Kinda like connecting a block or link or magnet. I imagine a “click” sound as the connection is made 😂

Great! I see we have some interest in pursuing this.
Follow = Connect = Total Connected
Unollow = Disconnect
Followers = Connections

The people you follow could be listed as your Connected. And people who follow you could be your Connections.

I'm sure we could iron out the details
What we need is a vote and some more input on this.
When Twetch poll?
You know! Like that Twitter trash, so users can vote on issues like this.
Not that a vote has to be binding, but great to get an opinion count.

Think in real world terms. To connect with someone sounds better than to follow. To have many connections, sounds better than following many. The term connect carries more respect and has a better vibe than the usual follow found on that Twitter trash.

I think they use connect on linkedin as well
