There are some people who I followed at some point, who have either moved onto new accounts or softblocked me so I wasn't following them.
Every time I see them mentioned in my home timeline, I think about refollowing or seeing if I'm still blocked, but then I realize it probably isn't worth the effort...
re: ~
I'd rather they reached out to me, if it was still okay if I followed them. Even if that never happens...
I've learned that it's okay if you aren't friends with everybody, even if you wish you could be.
