So, the profile directory feature. Thoughts:

Follower counts in the table. Some don't like that column. I think, it has the potential to have the opposite effect to what you're thinking, it may motivate people to follow people who have less. It's also one click away so I don't think it's worth hiding.

@Gargron i am not current on this discourse at all, but this argument seems disingenuous—for me, mastodon works *because* of how it intentionally hides some of the things that would otherwise be "one click away"—and you know as well as anyone that one click means a huge drop-off in actual use/engagement with a feature or piece of information

@aparrish @Gargron one instance where we see the benefit of putting things one click away is the favs/retoots

@OliverUv @Gargron i'd also add that the decision to show/hide information and functionality isn't just a matter of interface and usability—it's an expression of what the community values.
