    Why? When someone types “following” or “add” to your post it creates interaction, boosts your post publicity reach, and shows up in that person’s activity so their friends are able to see the post in their feed…simply because they commented on it.

    That’s actually how I came across your post. A friend commented on here, which showed up in my feed. For letting folks know about a situation like this fire, a simple “follow” comment is very useful in the way Facebook and people work.

    You have it backwards FLAGscanner
