When people follow you on here

do they just expect you to follow them back without any interaction?
Some might, I guess. I don’t follow anyone or accept any requests if we’ve never spoken.

If someone I don't know follows me and has never bothered to interact with me, I block them as a follower. I always ask permission before I add someone. Sometimes they say no. 🤷‍♀️

I assume they like my content. I follow back the ones i enjoy talking to in comments. I dont go into my PMs often
Fluffybull · F
I think they like your posts and want to see more of them.
laroc · F
@Fluffybull maybe some of them think that yeah

I don't get that "follow" thing at all. I have literally hundreds of "followers" and I haven't the faintest idea what that could possibly imply. 😐
Anyway I never followed anyone.

@KiwiBird I feel flattered (blushes...) 🤭

@helenS some just want to be aware of your posts, or presents if you follow them back? they are now a "friend"
helenS · 36-40, F
@Dshhh Yes it's true, I'm friends with some of my followers. "Friends" means I talk openly with them about things which are nobody's business.

I'm not sure, perhaps they just want to see your posts.

I often wonder why people whom I've never interacted with follow me. I will usually send them a courteous PM thanking them - but pointing out that I seldom post publicly nowadays.

I don't know what others expect. But I don't generally follow anyone without previously having some interaction. And not nearly always even afterwards.

I do. I mean, it's up to them if they follow me back but if I follow someone it definitely doesn't mean I want to talk with them through PMs. It usually means I find them interesting and like their energy and the content they post.
I think I've come to discover that for a large swath of people, following means that they will never again interact with you aside from emoji reactions to your posts.

I'm not one to enjoy someone hearting everything I have posted on my profile.....then hit the follow button and expect me to interact....I don't think so. I find it quite stalkerish imo.....

If I notice someone posting interesting or funny content, I'll usually answer a few questions and see what they are like before I follow -
ReneeT · 61-69, M
Most of them do have some kind of interaction. But if I haven't heard anything from them and a request just pops up I am a little wary
Queendragonfly · 31-35, F
I don't think anyone who isn't a stalker expect anything. They like your posts they befriend you and see what happens.
Pfuzylogic · M
The process has fundamentally changed. When someone follows now it does impact seeing the Posts of those they follow.

I dont press that button because I dont understand the point. Sounds kinda creepy though🤔
Most of the time. It depends on how they start the first one.
AdaXI · 41-45, T
If they do then they're outta luck, lolz!😄

Most people do but no I don’t expect them to
I removed all followers within a few hours.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
It doesn't matter to me
Idk they're weird
Morrigan · F
I think that is the expectation, though I never really get the whole follower thing because it does not change too much, you can still interact if thats what you want to do, regardless.
laroc · F
@Morrigan dudes just want to see pics if you have them I think
Morrigan · F
@laroc yeah there is that too
JPWhoo · 36-40, MVIP
Usually I follow just whomever interests me. They can follow me back or not, I don’t care unless it’s a girl whose pics I want to see; if that’s the case I make sure to chat with them through their inbox.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
No idea. But I just kind of wander through without giving it much thought.

I hope not. I don't just follow anybody
Joeyj16 · M
To see more of the stuff you post probably.
SnailTeeth · 36-40
That would be pretty self-absorbed if they did.
Dshhh · M

others know better
Nah they just creepy stalkers 👀
