It's apparently a not so important issue, probably already discussed, but: what do you think if your client switched from the "Follows" label to the "Contacts" label?

"Contacts" seems more immediate, also for not English speakers, it removes the follows/following possible confusing overlap, and especially it opens to a more interoperable scenarios (DMs, "other stuff" use cases, etc). I don't see any particular drawbacks.

What do you think?

Every normie with a phone knows the difference between following and followers. Followers and Contacts sound like completely different things. But the word "Follows" is indeed confusing since nobody uses it.

I'm not sure about that; you should take in consideration different generations and people that don't care about social networks.

And should we use it?! :)
