tip for new mastodon users, read user bios before interacting
@discord_inc no you just message the person, follow requests don't have messages
but you were already following me in my old account so it's ok
@squirrel okay, I'll keep that in mind for next time. I'm still getting used to things here
@discord_inc i think reading someone's bio is useful regardless of platform
@squirrel
Yeah sorry. I saw the bit about sending a message, but I didn't see where to enter one in my follow request
