@Devine Lu Linvega can you explain, what is the issue with followers?
you don't follow them! they follow you.
and they can actually follow you also without clicking the 'follow' button, because both ways they see your public posts.
it's just a bit more convenient to not keep a tab of your page, but see updates in the stream.
@tanakian@ծմակուտ.հայ sure, I find that the more followers I get the more I have to lock things down, obviously at this point favs and boosts are utterly useless, they are thousands of notifications on their own.
Recently I get mentioned in these hell threads where 20 random people gets tagged and people keep piling on, so I end up blocking 10s of accounts each time. It makes it hard to find meaningful interactions, and leaves me less time to actually engage with people.
