     @Dhmspector Can confirm this from friends. Have heard from several friends that he just popped up in their newsfeeds without notice. I haven't been on fbook in awhile so haven't seen this myself.

     @WarnerCrocker see my video follow up. You can’t unfollow — fb refollows automatically.

     Yeah, it’s •probably• nothing worse than a UX fail. Hard to say without seeing exactly what they’re seeing.

     But…we’re all on eggshells right now, and not without reason. It seems like the sort of thing that 404 does a good job of sussing out.

     It should be noted that the facebook mobile UI caches heavily and can show you as following someone for some time after you've unfollowed.

     Also the original is the wrong UI for unfollowing.

     so yeah.

     Everyday new reasons to avoid using freedom denying non-free closed source software stuck as corporate social media funded by surveillance capitalism.

     @Dhmspector Out of curiosity, do we know if people who were not previously following him are now following him?

     @Dhmspector I’m no supporter of his, believe me, and I do think Facebook is a blight. But I’m not seeing this. I’m not following him from what I can see. Maybe there was a glitch?

     @Dhmspector My account didn't auto follow any of them, and I had no trouble blocking him.

     I'm starting to think @Dhmspector is a spreader of disinformation.
