One of the things I actually miss from Twitter was having a handful of truly famous people follow me and we just like, casually shot the shit about inconsequential things every blue moon or so. Not even looking for it or trying for it. The only place that kind of interaction would happen all on its own. Of course, it came at a steep cost. The site was poison in a way that was highly contagious, so you'd get roped into all kinds of drama and feel like it was the most important thing in the world. But it's the inconsequential chit-chat that made it great.
