Hey everyone, especially #mastodev #mastoadmin and my Planeteers, I've got a request!

I recently 99% finished a Mastodon feature to allow follow requests at two different levels, giving follow requests three different options: Authorize, Semi-Authorize, and Reject.

I picked the "filter" icon from FontAwesome (see image for example) for lack of other suitable ideas, but if you have a better idea, please let me know!

(Code is here: https://github.com/TheInventrix/mastodon/tree/softfollow - thread below for more details)

@InspectorCaracal Yes I love this. Dreamwidth separates friending people into "subscribe" and "grant access" and I've never been satisfied with anything less granular since. I often want to be able to do only one or the other!

Thank you for making progress here.

@Cobalt @InspectorCaracal I, too, have been hoping someone would make a change like this for ages and am really glad to see progress on it!
