@Holberg Oh! I realized that I sometimes do a follow / unfollow thing, unintentionally, if I see a good comment from someone, but because of how federation works I can' see the content on their profile. Sometimes I'll take a leap of faith and follow them -- and if it turns out to be a bad call, I'll unfollow as more information is available. It probably makes me look like a jerk but it's really me being generous with follows within the info constraints of the fediverse.
