the reason why bluesky doesnt let u remove followers so number goes up and makes ur profile cooler

@niko wtf? bluesky doesn't let you remove followers!?

@noisytoot it doesnt because the follow record would still exists on their repo . tho it really shouldnt be counted as a follow on the appview...

@niko ah, I didn't realize bluesky doesn't have follow requests either. in a network where everything is public and relays have a full view of the network I guess it does make sense that you can't remove or decline follows

but it's still weird that there's no unfollow record so you have to use a full block if you want to remove a follower
