Follow

would a way for mastodon to keep track of accounts that have rejected your follow requests in the past be a good idea, or would it lead to abuse somehow

@typhlosion We feel like it's kinda important enough and has little enough abuse potential to be worth it

@typhlosion I don't think broadcasting that a follow request is declined is a good idea, people would take it as a reason to spin up alts and bombard IME with past platforms that did in some way announce a block or other intentional ignoring

@IrisKalmia @typhlosion def agree. if ppl were nice, then maybe an unobtrusive "you cannot request to follow this account" if you try again would be great. but ppl are not nice.
