@ratcatcher@mastodon.ie So, when I posted this, two accounts requested to follow my mastodon.ie account. Neither had a profile pic, bios were sparse, a few followers and rather more follows. One was a few months old, the other a couple of years old. But the odd thing is that neither had actually posted anything - they had just boosted others' posts. What's the purpose of accounts like this? I'm struggling to understand the modus operandi and the thinking behind it.
