As soon as I created my account, some bot elsewhere on the fediverse called "Federation Bot" immediately followed me. To prevent things like this, I'd like to be able to manually approve or deny requests for a follow / subscription instead of having it just go through.

This won't affect Atom feeds, of course, but it does stop rogue fediverse bots like this trying to mass-follow people.
