question about protocol 

if you literally cannot remember whether the reason you're not following someone anymore is due to a softblock or that you unfollowed them on purpose, what's the proper way to figure that out? i don't awnt to send a follow request to someone who doesn't want us around

@Felthry we genuinely don't know a good solution here. For our part, we'd probably rather be asked, but we always like to be asked so that's not terribly helpful.

@packbat @Felthry I regret I can't offer any useful advice either.

I guess the thing to do is ask the person if they would object to your following them. Good luck, whatever you end up doing.
