Oddbean new post about login | logout “Connection” implies a bidirectional link while follows are unidirectional (you following someone doesn’t mean they follow you). I don’t love the term “follower” either but “connection” is technically inaccurate.
Yes… so in order for it to be a connection you both must “follow” one another… This is an interesting feature. It would make it instantly recognizable to the user that the bidirectional connection exists… 🤔
When would that be useful to know?
All the time? Anytime?
I mean, what's the use? 1. Do you need the number if connections, and for what? 2. Do you want to know who an npub is connected too, and for what? ...
Yes, I see what you mean… 🤔
