I recently made a mastodon account after deleting mine about six months ago. Joining Lemmy has made me curious about what I left behind.

Do you enable require follow requests?

I used to be pretty permissive, but the people I admired had that turned on. I turned it on for my new account the moment I thought to ask this question.

Are there upside or downsides to this? Please share any thoughts I want to know if it even matters.

    I don’t share (or like) anything that I don’t want made public, so I don’t mind who follows my profiles on social media. But some people would rather keep a lower profile or be more selective of who can interact with them, so it’s better to have the option available.
