Is there a way to disable the followers/following thing? (kbin.social)

I find it a little creepy...being followed, you know. I've never been a Twitter /Insta or whatever user and on Reddit I had it disabled.

P. S. No offense to my followers reading this. Cheers guys!

It was actually a huge problem for trans people on Reddit at one point, people would be mass followed by users with dysphoria inducing and triggering names, and they had to add a feature to turn off the ability for people to follow you (which for the first while could only be done with the official app, for some reason).
