Out of Control 
🇨🇦Hey #fediverse, my account is now being followed by `FollowBot @ pl.eragon.re`. What is the purpose of bots like this, and should I allow them to follow me. My gut says block.
FinchHaven sfbaSearching for @followbot at my Profile Seach, I get:
"Followbot
Automated
Personal note
This bot is used to improve federation of my instance.
Feel free to follow back, I won't post anything.
I should be respecting #nobot if it's in your bio."

If this concerns you, #Mute and #Block
Personally I have no interests in building a bot's (and its owner's) Following account stats
Why can't the owner just Follow profiles organically like every one else?
