@quillmatiq My understanding is that Bridgy was initially to be opt-out, but then people took issue with that and the default had to be changed, so I get that. Still, it's unfortunate, especially considering for all the dozens requests sent by me via Bridgy, not one person has followed it. Creating a Bluesky account just to ask also got it immediately blocked by Bluesky.

@anewsocial There's no way the most requested feature isn't to be able to follow anyone, regardless of whether they follow Bridgy!
