Question: Option "Following" in this Forum

[Chasing Embers]

Packed? You need to dry your tobacco more!
?

My tobacco is devoid of most moisture, and the listed weight is unfilled.

I always thought you followed someone to see where they were going?

 

[jpmcwjr]

jp, you have 8 followers...7 more than me. You are a popular guy.

Tx.

A few more and we'll have a football team. Or a couple more reserves for the hockey team.

But how do we see who is following a dude? Either me, or anyone else?

Click on your name under your avatar. Click on your name again in your profile and click on "about". Shows who is following you and who you are following.

Never heard of it. I just find it unnerving that someone would be getting updates on my every activity on the forum or that they would even want them.

It does feel a little stalker-ish, doesn’t it? I think it’s the follower anonymity that ratchets up the unnerving nature. It might not be AS bad if you knew who was following you...like, on Twitter, I can see exactly who is following me, but on Reddit, followers are anonymous, and there’s this weird feeling that comes with knowing that there are 30-something random people following you around and watching you, and they’re all wearing trench coats and funny mustaches.

[condorlover1]

Goodness I have people who follow me and there I was just thinking it was my own paranoia!

So that's where it is! Thanks!

I admit that I have not studied all the functions offered by this forum. Let me ask you all what the Following option is used for? Tanks

Thx for asking this bc i didn't know either.

Yeah, you betta watch out, Simon! I am following you, so to speak.
I don't get notification if any of the folks I stalk— er, follow, post. And I like it that way.

 

[saltedplug]

It's there to keep Embers on his toes.

Folks, don't Follow someone if he asks that you don't.

Me, I'm shooting for 1,000 followers.

So when you get 1000 followers, I say make a run for president. By the time you are asked for your credentials, you'll have 2000. Reference this board, known not very far and too wide for its opportunistic sagacity and liberal intake of BROBS' roach ooze. You're a natural!

It is all a bit Single White Female isn't it? But with more pipes, obviously.
This song sums it up perfectly. It's about stalking and the famous 'breath method' also.

I'm mystified by the Follower feature. It sounds a little too much like Twitter or like stalking, but someone might find it useful. I think it is the subject of the thread and then the interplay that is interesting. Maybe if one member has a strong interest that you share? It's the members who I might not think to follow who often turn up the most interesting information or opinion.

 

[sandollars]

235.3 grams and clenching without my dentures.

This is like responding to someone when they ask how old your 9 year old is, and your wife says "He's 108 months old".....

At 235 grams it's time to just say "My pipe is a half pound". Don't you think?

 

[sandollars]

I have no problems with followers either.

I just added jp to my followed list. only 990 to go!
