Yes, and I am one of the people following you.
Overall, I like being able to follow people bc it makes it easy to find relevant content/support them without going through every post. (Go to upper left hand corner and click "PIF" and posts of the people you follow will come up.)
At the same time, like you, I don't like having followers that I don't know who they are bc I ran into problems with that elsewhere. As a courtesy, I try to notify people that I am following them, so they don't have to wonder.
We should be able to see who is following us.
Maybe the people following you will share that here or in a PM to you, so you don'r have to wonder.
I would follow myself too. :-D
PIF - I had no idea what that was. I rarely take the time to explore things because I have so much on my plate already and I've grown leery of clicking on things due to how they tend to take you way off course from what you were doing to the point that you forget what it was.
I don't follow anyone here so that PIF feature is no good to me. I just read the posts in a few subs and know that that's where I'll see anything that my favorite users post. I guess I miss a lot of their comments though. Maybe I'll change and start following a few (and let them know when I do).
As it is, I really don't care who's following me, unless it's a bunch of shills targeting me, like I got on my blog years ago. Even then, it doesn't bother me unless I find I'm reading a bunch of comments that have no purpose but to waste my time. But it would be nice to see who my followers are. I think that would help the morale of the users and cut down on shill activity.
