View submission: Safety update on Reddit’s follow feature
don't worry, that's a RES feature, not a reddit feature. It's a locally saved friends list that just highlights comments people you have tagged as a friend.

It's not an RES feature, it's a pretty old Old Reddit feature that preceded the "follow" function (which I think was introduced with New Reddit)

Thank God, it really annoys me that followers were not set up with some kind of restriction option for the person being followed in the first place.
I didn't particularly want some random person friending me also.

There is a separate friends tag that's not part of RES, but actually part of reddit. I sometimes see people that I tagged as friend like 10 years ago on a fresh RES install.
