@tchambers It may solve one issue (ensuring the follow is valid), but you still need to fetch all the follower’s account into your instance, which may be a lot of them. Then would you fetch those user's own followers, recursively?
You would end up with million of accounts stored (database, profile picture, banner, pinned posts & their media…) on every Fediverse server.
