If you are bored I suggest you request to follow @followtest. It won't make you any less bored, but will allow me to play with handling of follow requests. And really just because you are bored why should I be miserable too?
@nier@paul Agree with this — I’d suggest the button change from Follow to a greyed-out Pending or something to let me know I’ve already requested to Follow.
@tylerstone@paul And maybe change it back to Follow when leaving and returning to the profile view so that this state doesn’t need to be kept indefinitely.
