This is a good thread that helps users understand why follow farming is such an issue.

So many of these accounts and all the follow farmers who "carefully vet all their follows" are following dozens or even hundreds of them

FYI: We don't support listifications.app (in a dev sense), so we are not currently able to prioritize the fixing of a bug that only affects users of that tool. Please take up your concerns with the maintainer of that app.

Hi folks, we wanted to comment a little bit on the follow-farming label. We automatically label anyone with specific hashtags or keywords in their bio as follow-farmers as these hashtags or keywords have been observed to be widely used in follow-farming campaigns.

This thread will contain a running list of things we don't label or are not in a position to label, for reference. Around 60% of whole-account reports and 90% of post reports are for things we don't label for.
