View submission: Opt out of followers, front-end improvements to Reddit search, and an experiment to inspire new communities

Now that we have the ability to opt out of followers, can we also have the ability to remove followers that we don't want?

Interesting idea. Someone asked about this on the original post as well, and after hearing the feedback it’s something the team is looking into.

Right now you can block individual followers, but there isn’t a way to remove a follower. (Though I suppose, you could block someone, which removes them from your follower list, and then unblock them to accomplish this.)

Can't you just block them?

If you block them I’m gonna guess it’ll remove the follow? That’s how we do it on Twitter.
