I've seen the effect. It's just like after Brazil cut Twitter off. My very niche account has been gaining new followers by the hour.

I have no idea how people interested in Heathcliff are being found by new people. Much less people interested in Heathcliff without Heathcliff.

I wonder how long it'll last before it gets all spammy.

I just made a new account on BS, I haven’t done anything at all yet, no comments, likes, etc. Immediately followed by a woman with an OF link in her bio. Is that not against the rules? How did she find my account?
