[1/4] I enjoyed reading your feedback on the importance of the 'Following you' indicator on profiles.

Screenshot of five sticky notes. Note 1: "When I go to decide on a request to follow me I look first at their profile page and if I am following them already, it tells me I already vetted them and boom-done  I click Approve. And it’s very interesting if I get such a request a long time after I originally began to follow them." Note 2: "There are specific situations where it is fairly important.
Users that return after a long hiatus and whatnot." Note 3: "When I view a profile of a mutual, I'd like to know they still follow me.
It's nicely reassuring." Note 4: "The insight in the social graph (who follows who) helps me to establish psychological safety. When something bad happens, it plays a crucial role in my decision to engage, mute, block, or report." Note 5: "I don't know why, but it seems like useful information to me to see when someone follows me. It's more reassuring than not knowing. Not having the information anymore feels like information being hidden from me."

[2/4] What stood out to me most is the weight this indicator has on making many of you feel safe in the Fediverse. Time can pass, we forget why we followed people, and sometimes things even go wrong.

[3/4] Even after following someone, knowing that account follows you adds a layer of confidence and helps you to make decisions large and small – whether you're pruning your following list, or choosing how to engage with a questionable mention.

[4/4] I'm confident we can reintroduce the 'Follows you' indicator before 4.6, and your feedback also has me curious about a few other areas this badge could be more directly helpful – in your "People I'm following" list, for instance. Rest assured, you've been heard! And thanks again for your collaboration.

One hurdle here is localization & excessive character counts. How necessary is the explicit text 'You follow each other' – would it be sufficient to show 'Follows you' in all cases, including when you're following the person back? This considerably simplifies things and expands where we're able to display the badge.

@imanijoy I think the way it's done in @phanpy is quite nice

RE: https://mastodon.social/@katzentratschen/114348088826902057

@_elena @imanijoy Had a similar experience after one of the experimental nightly updates when "Mutual" was replaced with "Unfollow". "You follow each other" also vanished during that time if I remember correctly. Gave me a mini heart attack, too. 🙀

@_elena @imanijoy same here! Is there something written already about why this was removed at all?
