Pitch

Some accounts are bots that follows a huge amount of other accounts.

As a non-admin user, I would like to acknowledge that this kind of users are following me, which can be done in various ways:

  • add the number of following accounts on the "xxx is following you" notification;
  • on the /relationships?relationship=followed_by page, display the following amount, and allow to sort accounts by this number;
  • maybe show a "suspicious followers" list somewhere.

Motivation

Those bots can be used for profiling, spam or other unsolicited actions. When a user follows you, it's currently not clear if it's a genuine user who is interested by what you publish or just a following-bot.
