@HistoPol @FinchHaven @Gargron @tchambers @mina that's not at all what I inferred. Your solution is way overengineered! 😋 ... what I read into it is:
▪ I opt in to the feature
▪ I reply to a post
▪ my client notices I'm not following the poster
▪ and shows me (or offers to show me) the profile of the poster (exactly as published by the poster).
Visualising it reminds me: showing me a no-content profile would warn me that I might be replying to a troll, and I'd investigate before posting! \o/
