@dansup can this be abused?

e.g. by taking 100 accounts and pushing all followers to a single one?

@mamus @dansup You don't need to go to those lengths to "abuse" follower counts on fedi. You can manipulate your own server to display whatever number of followers you want. Similarly, you could create many accounts on your own server to follow yourself somewhere else. That's just plain old spam.

@johnny @dansup what about following someone who posts cute puppies and one day you're following ads?

There's still room for abuse. I'm not saying it's bad. I like being able to transfer accounts. Just brainstorming 😊

@mamus I mean, I could post cute puppies today and start posting ads tomorrow. No account switching necessary. What's the point?
