it only really matters if it’s a character i feel like /other/ people might care about where i put them though. if its a relative nobody with no actual “fanbase” (as most pages I’ve made are) its pretty chill

I think it’s really funny how you can block accounts on here but still keep them in your follow list (i block anything that looks spammy and sus but everyone else can stay)
