For #Elk, we are thinking about using "Mutual" instead of the "Follows you" label over the cover image plus "Unfollow" button of the official Mastodon Web client. Does everyone understand "Mutual" as "We follow each other" or do you think this could confuse some users?

@patak better to keep status and action separate.
IMHO text on buttons should always state the action they perform - "Unfollow" in this case.

@salvozappa yes, I'm thinking we should add a new toggle icon button next to this label to unfollow/follow. The current "change the text on hover" doesn't work for mobile. We may still try using "Mutuals" for the label and see how that works though. Some folks have expressed that it may be confusing, while others loved it.
