There are about 5 accounts that keep following me over and over again. It’s the same accounts, but it seems like they are increasing my followers number each time they follow me, which doesn’t make sense.
Hard to tell, though, because Primal, Damus, and nostr.band are all showing different follower counts.
I believe there’s a long, techy answer, but is there a short one too? 😇

For why the follower counts are different? They aren't looking at all of the same relays to find all of the users with your npub in their follow list.
Follow counts are always to be considered approximate.
Follower numbers aren’t real, stop worrying about them
If you mute them it will stop. It doesn’t fix the problem, obviously, but at least it won’t bother you any more until it’s fixed properly.
The same thing happens to me just using primal, for what it’s worth, it’s the most complete client IMHO.
Idk what Primal is the most of, but "complete" ain't it
nostrudel.ninja is definitely the most complete nostr client
I think it’s one of the issues with Nostr, depends on the relays you use and the clients. I believe it’s impossible for the metadata to be synced across the board.
