Follower count is incorrect

[ti-lun]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to profile page (my page is @stonemilled.bsky.socal)
2. Click 12 followers
3. Note that there are not 12 followers. This weirdly varies how many it shows (on some renders it shows spam bots, on others it doesn't)

I will try to take a look at what's going on myself; I've just very recently started to dive into the code :)

Take a look at this #1160

This is possibly because you blocked a bot/spam follower and for whatever Reason Bluesky is not capable of removing blocked accounts from your follower list like literally every single other Social Media Platform

yes, I went through the whole thread that Sininini posted above -- seems like Bluesky auto-blocks spam bots, but does not remove them from the follower list. It's an interesting problem that decentralization presents, I guess.

I think I'd aim to try to get the follower count to mirror the follower list. I think that should be doable. The larger problems of the block/softblock functionalities though, I haven't a clue.

still doesn't explain why the number at the top doesn't simply reflect the count of "listed" items
