I keep seeing follow requests on hachyderm.io now, even though my account is open. I don't understand why, but it makes me feel like I should say "no" because if they're not scary people there would be no issue.

This is new behavior.

Can someone with knowledge of hachyderm.io please explain what's changed and how I should act?
