Since you did ask, I'm answering, but I will first say anyone has the right to not want anyone at ALL to follow them. Nothing wrong with that. They just have to say so on their profile.The other thing I don't understand is why people follow me with whom I don't have the same interests , it's the complete opposite. Why do they start following me. That button is not a like button next to a comment...
It doesn't matter, because I turned off the function, so even if they follow me in vain, it won't alert them anything.
You "turned off the function?" What function, the follow function? Even with your profile set on limited viewing as it is, people can still follow you. Just hover over your name on this thread, and there's the follow button, available to everyone, even members on your ignore list.
You "turned off alerts/notifications" of your activity? Again, nope. No one needs any alerts to seen all of your activity. Anyone can do that hover thing of which I spoke, click on the number under "Messages," and a page with all your comments appears. Right up to the minute if it's refreshed. That even works for members you have on "ignore;" even members you believe you've blocked from seeing your profile. I can't see your profile and it worked for me.
Lastly,
Must followers of yours share your interests? No, and many will not. Some people might follow you and not even like anything you say or believe in. In fact, some will follow you and not even like you at all."...why people follow me with whom I don't have the same interests..."
Again, if you haven't stated your desire for no one to follow you, which is your right, they will follow you no matter what.
I know I've just said a lot of things you didn't want to hear. Maybe you've found them out since making your post. In any event, my comments might still help you or someone else reading.
