Last year, I followed everyone who interacted with my posts.
Not everyone accepts follow requests automatically (and that's fine, you SHOULD control what you want your fediverse to be!).
But!...
Sometimes I go, "I should follow this person!" only to find that I had already requested to follow them. This has happened multiple times
Now I wonder:
1) Did they deny my request, but my instance was never notified?
2) Should I cancel the request and try again?
3) Do they hate me so left me hangin'?
