Just got followed by @tdf. It looks like they're an aggregator selling ads on content posted on the Fediverse, among other places. Since I live in CA, I'm really looking forward to seeing how "do not sell my information" interacts with this particular business model.

@tdf are you following folks en masse to feed analytics? I mean, I'm perfectly aware you don't have to follow people to scrape their posts.

@draNgNon@hachyderm.io no to help other flipboard users discover people on the fediverse. Nothing related to analytics.

@draNgNon@hachyderm.io it’s not en masse either, just very specific accounts that seem reasonable others might want to follow. I could be following too many or too few, not really sure
