All new users also automatically follow the user ID 6063131

Thanks for letting us know @000 — that was definitely odd, and was not intentional. I have taken them off the auto-follow list now. I will just try to follow up with what might have happened.

Huh? There is a auto-follow list? May not be intentional to have deepsl8 in there, but can you tell us who else is on the list? It’s alright if no, I’m just curious

There is a auto-follow list?

Yeah, new users automatically follow THT, they’re the only ones on there.

Attached above is a cropped snip of a response from the HS servers to an account creation packet. Look at “following_ids”. The id 665372 is normal, that’s the Hopscotch Teams account.
The ID above it is weird though. 6063131. The username attached to the ID 6063131 is “deepsl8 ” (probably standing for “deepslate”).

Thanks t1! Sorry for the delayed response. I created another test account and this seems to have been fixed.

There is only the Hopscotch Team, like others have mentioned^^

I did a test on a new account that i made to test this bug. I unfollowed deepsl8, and tried to unfollow tht as a test. It didn’t let me and fefollowed deepsl8- I’m wondering whether this happens to others.
