That's a good question. I was given a heads up with the people who wanted to follow me. So, I know pretty much who they are. You are correct with your concern though. If one can't 'see' who it is that is following (and didn't provide the courtesy of notifying), it could be used for nefarious purposes.
It's not that I'm concerned... I'm kind of flattered. I was just wondering why bother setting the site up this way so we know we have followers but not know anything else. I'm already suspicious of this site after I lost 5000+ points for no explainable reason, as well as losing a few other features, so there's that, but I'm also pondering ideas on how a social media platform might be designed that had better features than what we usually get. Owner control is a real bitch for the user, especially when they hide and play games. Coding features into a platform is pretty simple, so there's no reason that we shouldn't be able to see who's following us. It seems that it's more for the benefit of the people running a platform than for the user.
Here's a tin foil hat to wear --- Being from Justin Castro land (and with all the crazy shit going on there), one or more of those followers, could be Ottawa. One cannot determine who follows. So, is it friend or foe?

Could be. I sent Son of Castro a few nasty emails a while back, so maybe he's got someone watching me.

It doesn't matter to me. I don't have anything to worry about with what I say. Not like some people around here who play games and say stupid shit they might regret later on.
