I think it would be nice to let someone know what they said that was impactful enough to earn a follower.
Instead of simply getting an e-mail that says, "scaryghost is following you" (which would be scary in real life but in Hubski it means something else), it would be nice to see "scaryghost is following you. They said, 'I liked your comment about scary ghosts being different on Hubski.'"
What up with it?
I'm thinking that if the norm becomes writing a comment, not doing so would be even more awkward. Kinda admitting that you don't know why you are following. If others are down for the change, and it happens, I'll come up with something, but I have some reservations.
I mean...I don't get why not message someone if you want, don't if you don't? Why does there have to be a "norm". I mean...what is the point? I don't understand what changing things would actually solve. If you want to talk to someone talk to them. If not don't.
