Profile
Why are so many users following exactly the same number of people that are following them?
Followers is the second generation of our friendship system. Originally members had to agree to be friends with another user who requested it. Members in approved friendships both got marked as following each other during the migration. Friendships that had not been accepted were left as only the requester following the other account.
I don’t want people to see information about me!
