masto culture question: what is the polite way to ask someone "heyyy did you get my follow request? because it's been weeks and i'm just wondering", while also leaving them polite room about not feeling pinned down by you being demanding? cancel your follow request and send another? or is that too pushy?

i mean i know the answer isn't "make a post like this" but i swear i'm just a dumbass not being malicious

@wigglytuffitout honestly not only do I not know but I am the worst nightmare of this situation because I check my follow requests like three times a year

@wigglytuffitout ....... lol

"Wait, maybe she meant me"
*checks, scrolls a bunch*
"Oh shit"

Follow

@InspectorCaracal OH NO THIS UNINTENTIONAL SUBTOOT WORKED GOMENSORRY.............. OTL

computers.... are sometimes Difficult

@wigglytuffitout hahaha it's fine!! I thought I had pinned something about letting me know if you send a follow request because I never check them but apparently not w h o o p s

@wigglytuffitout it was actually really funny because I was like "oh yeah people who stress about follow requests sitting there probably hate me, I am like Their Nemesis" and then I was like ....wait........

@wigglytuffitout the trick is that it stops telling you how many requests you have at 40, so once it hits "40+" I just tune out the number >.>
