Did it happen to you like you followed someone but they didn't follow back? so you unfollowed them?
@Sphinx That is not uncommon.
I would say it's a courtesy to follow back someone who discovers you and connects, but not obligatory.
People who have accounts with many followers probably don't want to be innundated by too many posts in their Home feeds.
If the account content is important to you, just leave it like that. Maybe the person will notice you, or your comments in some of their posts, look at your profile and decide to Follow at that time.
Don't assume an automatic follow back, is what I am sayin'. 😉
@Sphinx And yes, I have that happen and did not mind or unfollow.
@design_RG 🤝
it happens to me too!
@Sphinx It's normal, I wouldn't worry.
Waht did worry me is what happened the other day -- a follow request, and when I looked at the user's profile...
About 600 accounts he was following. None were following him/her/they.
That 600 / 0 sounded suspect to me, and I blocked the account.
@Sphinx Just keep an eye for odd things, look at the user's profile - do they seem to be in a related field to me, similar interests in their description. Some interesting posts in their profile?
I follow back in that case.
If it's something clearly unethical, marketing, escort services, etc, I would not and would remove the account from my Followers list.
Many people have their accounts locked, and follow requests MUST be approved by them.
Usually people who are more security concerned have this enabled.

i opened the follow requests function, sometimes i feel like if i wanted to interact with people here, there is a lot of Chinese content user i can talk with,but i like practice my English and somehow i feel like i can get more engaged in English, it sounds weird i understand...
@Sphinx Yes, very true.
I find differences, fairly noticeable, even from North America compared with parts of Europe I have visited.
@design_RG
sometimes it also two different thinking style and ideology .
