Poropsal: We get rid of Follower counts: I actually agree with Manton here đź‘Ś
@prologic@twtxt.net So each user on a pod would no even be able to the list of who follows them? Or is it just the counter you want to get rid of? And both for Followers and Following?
@prologic@twtxt.net mastodon makes that configurable, which I think is a decent approach. I actually like to watch my follower count because it can be a good signal for weird stuff happening (especially if it goes up or down by more than it “should” in a short period of time). Saying “don’t include this because people will chase the metric” is…..well…….not the most nuanced reason.
@darch@neotxt.dk Jist yue count. And only Followers.
Sorry all. To be clear I only mean the public Followers count. Not your Followinf list.
This PR does what I’m suggesting:
@prologic@twtxt.net so will you still be able to see who follows you? But other users/guests will not be able to see a followers list fo other user besides themselves?
@darch@neotxt.dk Correct đź‘Ś
@prologic@twtxt.net I can live with that. And it’s also more in line with the “privacy-first focus” of yarn.social.
@darch@neotxt.dk Agreed đź‘Ś
