Ha. Fascinating. Likely you can withdraw request and follow âagain' and that will trigger a regular follow.

Oh interesting! Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
In my case the missing 2,600 followers are in limbo as they are no longer at the old account either.
My idea at first was that one cause for this could be short-time users of Mastodon who just tried out the service 1-2 times and then haven't logged in again, thus not triggering the re-follow. Not sure if this is a realistic theory.
In my case there is the added complexity of moving to an Akkoma instance, so I'm guessing there are issues with this as well.
I do now have examples of people who are listed in my followers list not actually following me (they have the "Withdraw follow request" button). I also have people who are following me but are not listed in my profile as followers đ

Does giving up first name and last name really have to be compulsory for a newsletter? đ

I see similar experiences all the time. It makes you realise just how much the recommendation algorithms have been in control over the content that influences us, rather than the human participants.
@mookie Wohoo!! Given that this is the first year ever I am playing around with servers Iâm feeling pretty awesome about making this happen.
@m
Hetzner here. But I misspoke. This server is actually in Finland!

I use my Ghost blogs (self-hosted) as the newsletter platform as well. So each newsletter is a blog post that is also sent out as a newsletter.

@aral I've always heard this was a design critique specifically directed at hostile architecture but now I feel more unsure.
@Catweazle @stooovie
This appears to be the best clue Iâve found:
âArtist Fabian Brunsing tackled similar themes with a piece which criticizes the privatization of our public spaces.â
@dinkompismia Har lÀst ikapp. Usch vilken obehaglig hÀndelse. Hoppas du fÄtt/fÄr tid och ro för ÄterhÀmtning och bearbetning.
@LeoR1010 VÀldigt tacksam att du Àr hÀr Leo. SvÄrt att komma pÄ nÄgon som Àr mer jordnÀra och reflekterande. Du uppmuntrar till mer eftertanke hos mig.
@m
Very good points. I really need to do a writeup on all these insights!
@joeldebruijn
@joeldebruijn In the end I had no problem moving across followers from Mastodon to Akkoma. (works the same way as Mastodon to Mastodon instance migration and you have to redirect your old account). I did lose thousands of followers but as Iâve written about I believe those to be abandoned accounts. Which means it was probably a good thing :)
Follows works with exporting and importing a csv file.

@deltatux Ah, interesting. Thanks!
@Mabande @dinkompismia Sicken serendipity! Nu har jag lagt till den dĂ€r boken pĂ„ lĂ€slistan ocksĂ„. đ
@dudleytribune Iâm not sure if you have misunderstood something. Twitter is not involved in this at all. Iâm moving from a self-hosted Mastodon instance to a self-hosted Akkoma instance.
I agree about followers not being a useful metric, but the assumption here is that if someone follows me in the Fediverse they donât want to just suddenly lose contact when an account moves to another instance.
@joho I fully agree. If people donât feel comfortable moving around we are back to being dependent on centralisation.
@jerome Haha, amazing. Yes, it feels like it will take a few days for all this to get sorted. The follow request essentially means that that the re-follow has been queued. I donât have approval of follows, activated, so itâs really just waiting for all those follow requests to get sorted one-by-one.
