@BeAware Fair counter. No, nobody's been weird about follows - if anything, I've had generally excellent interactions across the fediverse - but this is a relatively new account, so I figure it's worth providing some attestation that I pass the Turing test and/or am not a jerk.

Marko G. (headcanonical@toot.bldrweb.org)'s status on Thursday, 11-Jul-2024 05:41:42 JST Marko G. #Fediverse etiquette varies almost per individual IME, so I err towards unobtrusive. Don't want to bug folks who don't want to be bugged, but do want to be able to read/support interesting folks. Hence, I sometimes follow without an initial interaction.
If I follow your profile w/o a proper intro, it's likely because
* You interacted first, I read your profile, and think you're neat
* I somehow randomly stumbled across your profile, read it, and think you're neat
* You're a creator or content outlet that I want to supportPoint being, it's out of genuine interest in you as a person/entity.
