what i was wondering is if it would be possible for me to update the bot’s code so that it collects the list of following/followers (as opposed to just the count of followers/following) for a future addon "better-feed", which would show following/follower events for people a user follows in their feed. So, for example, in between posts, you would see a card that says "@/jeffalo followed @/imadeanaccount", similar to how the GitHub homepage recommends users.
People could use it to track who unfollowed them and that could cause problems if someone wants to… so I think better ask jeffalo for that
it's already possible to keep track of who unfollows you if you want to (but just to be safe i might store the list of people who follow in a private mongo db)
