I’ve been seeing a really weird bug where sometimes I get follow requests, even though… my account is public. It’s weird.

@oolongstains silenced accounts can only send follow requests, not actual follows

@noiob Ohhhh. Interesting. Does “silenced” come from the server instead of the user? Like, did my server silence them?

Follow

@oolongstains I think it's either your or their server
