@snow Took me some processing to Decode your message.

Then it clicks. yes.

They are NOT the same -- the blue human silhouette represents a Follow relationship (in this case, you are following, the X marks a unfollow option).

The icon on the Left, similar to the wifi symbol -- that's the "Subscribe" option I mentioned to you in an earlier post - and which so many on the fedi opinionated crowd fround irritating (even if all it shows is PUBLIC posts, nothing else, not even Followers only posts).

so, two icons for two distinct functions. 😺
