Also, do we still have anything like a friend request?
It seems a bit much to just start following someone who doesn't know you're doing it. ?
how would a friends level differ from follow? following just makes their public posts show in "your news feed", doesnt really need to be mutual, but can easily be used maliciously by bad actors
it would be nice to be able to prevent specific users from following you; i'm guessing whatever block/ignore list xf has will be pretty much the same as vb's, they see your posts but you don't see theres, in which case a proper block function to be used against stalkers would also be great.
