I love Mastodon because it doesn’t hide my posts from those that choose to follow me— nor does it promote them. It’s fair in a way that Twitter and the others just aren’t. The feedback feels honest and genuine. Mastodon is REAL. So it’s pretty sad to see accounts still playing follow-unfollow ratio games over here. One might even call it “pathetic” or.. “low quality”

@JoParkerBear I don't disagree just noting that the most recent time (today) I raised an eyebrow at an account's odd sudden-follow-accumulation behavior I later realized that individual was just migrating.

so, sometimes weird looking behavior is just weird looking and maybe not a huge red flag

@dannotdaniel no… I’m talking about very typical, confirmed behavior that has nothing to do with migration.

@JoParkerBear I gotcha. Yeah I was just super suspicious, put the account on alerts just to see what was up..

This person is now causing some drama on here so I guess my red flags weren't completely unwarranted 😅

Benefit of the doubt and all that..
