@CertifiedSystem *inundates y'all with follow requests* >,,>
@Ylfingr fully expecting it!
hopefully we reliably remember to click follow back lol
@CertifiedSystem *fanggrins!*
Masto's one-way-follow system does make sense for parasocial stuff, but gets weird fast when you treat it like conventional friending, like we do.
@Ylfingr yeah, back in the day on nocial networking sites, a pair either was friends or wasn't.
i'm not really sure when or how Following started. I suspect Tumblr may have been an early adopter but that's because it's really a blogging platform. Maybe the macro-blogging platforms did as well...? And well i guess Twitter was micro-blogging, so maybe they made it big early on.
