Q1. Do you have a lot of follow requests pending for years...?

Q2. Did you message people after follow and nothing back...?
@ ? @ ?@ ?@ ?@

I notice for a long time that locked accounts had icon after requesting (needing manual confirmation) but now noticed a lot of the same accounts are not locked ... and I can follow without request.

Yes it could just be a few accounts or people realised problems that people were stuck in but also I tried double-checking to clarify by sending direct messages to people (and didn't get a reply).
So maybe something didn't work more than just people not wanting me to follow...

Maybe people are not getting requests (it's hard to say BUT i can say that many account NEVER got out of - I was / am stuck half-following and that did seem odd)

Messaging them without reply can suggest incompatible / blocked server or something even if not all of them and people are just unresponsive many times.

So yes it's now better without lock but maybe of a bit of a sign something people realised - might be a bit stuck even with friendly servers (while I accept many might not say "I'm not sure about you or going to tell me "no" or manually message back) usually people want to just not have blank accounts...

Do you have also lots of ?
Check in your follow list...

Would be good if you could see / filter of 'not yet accepted' to check -

But don't think you can check accounts pending statuses?
Right?

Would be better than left in #limbo ...
