#### Hide Who You Follow / Are Followed By
By default, GoToSocial shows your following/followers counts on your public web profile, and allows others to see who you follow and are followed by. This can be useful for account discovery purposes. However, for privacy + safety reasons you may wish to hide these counts, and to hide your following/followers lists from other accounts. You can do this by checking this box.
With the box checked, your following/followers counts will be hidden from your public web profile, and others will not be able to page through your following/followers lists.
