And what exactly is the point of following/being followed. I don't get it.
Do you follow back everyone that follows you?
-
-
I only follow @zuzuhhaa and Yunathehomegirl
-
well no one follows me so
-
Yes I do,cuz why not
the following system serves no purpose anyway lol,at least not that I know of.
-
Yeah, I'm not Beyonce
I don't follow people who got banned tho
-
What does it do though? What do people use it for?
-
I just follow back whoever follows me.
-
Yep
-
well no one follows me so
liar
-
I do!

I see it as a way of saying let's be friends
-

It's like tiktok where if you are following someone and they follow you back, you're now mutuals with each other.
-
I follow no one. Can't play faves now!

are you me
there's a user who i talk to a lot and the moment she'd realized she wasn't following me she asked "how come i wasn't following you?!", well, idk! not that it mattered, we were talking without following each other just fine

Interesting question (as always)
My answer is no 😁
-
it depends on varying circumstances. I have everything shut off, and the only people who can communicate with me on my wall, look at anything or even message me are the ones I follow. So, that can pretty much explain why that exists.
I only follow back if i find it safe to do so. and now people know. I have more people following me than i follow because of various reasons lol
-
Yes.
-
I do!

....i hope no one that i didn't follow back got offended
-

Lol oh no! Now i really wonder if I've been offending people. I just stopped following back cuz i didn't see the point.

Ah this is a good point. I had my dms completely off for a long time and then i did open it to follows cuz a couple people wanted to talk to me about a few things. I don't really like to DM, so would prefer to limit the amount of people who can message me
-
-
if Idk the person then no
But if we interact often then yeah
I think following someone is an indication that you are friends or that you enjoy them
Okay I've definitely been offending people lol

Yes exactly, if you set your things to Only people YOU follow can write on your wall or message you, that saves you from getting messages/unwanted messages etc. So, I believe that's why they have the follow list.
this is under privacy
-
Yes because I like the numbers to be even, but there's no reason to follow tbh. It doesn't really serve any purpose.
it does serve a purpose though, you can set your privacy settings to only users you follow being able to view your things and/or message you. If you don't want unwanted messages, than you can set it to nobody or "only people you follow" as i demonstrated above. That way people you are happy to chat with are the only ones that can hit you up and i think it's a great feature.
-
Hmm yeah though follow system is pretty damn useless. I guess you can use it so people you don't want to interact with can't see or post on your profile. They also cant message you

If you have your wall closed it’s useful I guess.
-
Yes I do though it has no purpose
-

Drama?
-
And what exactly is the point of following/being followed. I don't get it.
for those with private profiles, people cannot see their profile unless they are mutual followers.
-
yes but I always try to get to know the person a bit I follow or who follow me
like every person who follows me gets a "wall conversation"

Err no I have notifications turned off but if they tell me about it I usually follow back.

I follow/follow back users who I have a good sense of familiarity with....
So it's more of a moral obligation than anything and it establishes a sense of camaraderie especially when it's mutual, but some just follow others out of admiration from afar, which tends to happen to users with labels that stand out within the Forum.
And there's not much of a practical basis for it since no one really uses it (and I even wonder if it's a feature in the new Forum like it was in the old one), but you could see the feeds of the users you followed back in the day. -
MissB follow me back so I can stalk your wall0974D551-AEE8-401A-BA5E-5E2153CFE7D9.png
-

-
