I wasn't sure where to post this exactly as there isn't a catchall section for things like this.
It's actually a two-part question.
I've seen random folks follow me without any prior interaction. I don't have a problem with it, but I'm curious about two things:
1) Are there bots on this site? I used to be on Fetlife for a time and it was common to have random bot accounts follow you on there. Advertisers, usually. Often I get the feeling it's a bot because you never hear from them again.
2) What is the usual protocol for following someone? Do you need to have interacted with them awhile? Do some people consider it creeper-ish to follow them? I don't generally follow people because I never want to seem invasive, though I don't mind being followed myself.
Thanks all.
