Let's discuss the follow limits. I feel, as developer of a tool that allows
people to auto-follow, I have a bit of insight into this. While there are
many, many legitimate users that auto-follow others, and have good reason to
do so, some are using it as a way to game the system, build followers
Makes sense.
One thing I'm noticing that now this feature is live:

makes an explicit reply to userB, I get userA's update twice. Just
something to be aware of for everyone.

In general, we treat a status as immutable, but removable.

Would it be possible to add some sort of attribute to the status

The API TOS is currently in development. It is taking longer than hoped as
