[1/4] I enjoyed reading your feedback on the importance of the 'Following you' indicator on profiles.

[2/4] What stood out to me most is the weight this indicator has on making many of you feel safe in the Fediverse. Time can pass, we forget why we followed people, and sometimes things even go wrong.

[3/4] Even after following someone, knowing that account follows you adds a layer of confidence and helps you to make decisions large and small – whether you're pruning your following list, or choosing how to engage with a questionable mention.

[4/4] I'm confident we can reintroduce the 'Follows you' indicator before 4.6, and your feedback also has me curious about a few other areas this badge could be more directly helpful – in your "People I'm following" list, for instance. Rest assured, you've been heard! And thanks again for your collaboration.

@imanijoy Excellent, thank you so much :)
Sorry if there's another thread about this, but I just noticed that profiles do not seem to show join date anymore. While this is not crucial in many cases, there are some where it was an important indicator.
For example, if I see somebody engaging in a potential political trolling (many posts/replies on a single topic only) and they joined days ago, I'm more likely to report them as an inauthentic account.
I'd love to see join dates return.
