@pathfinder @ratcatcher @AlexLloyd The account transfer bypasses requests for your followers (people who follow you), but not the people you follow (people you follow).At a technical level, follows (people you follow) after transferring are treated as new follows, so they still require request confirmations.The reason for this is the follower transfer includes a system for verifying you as owner of both accounts, but the follows transfer doesn't. The new request is to stop spammers.
