After a brief discussion with Andy Beard in the comments of one of my White Hat Crew blog posts, I’ve decided to make the “welcome” direct messages that were sent to new followers optional.
There’s a checkbox to control whether DMs are sent on the settings page.
I’m leaving ‘em turned on, but particularly if you already have some app sending welcome DMs for you, you might want to turn them off. I’ll try not to be sad! :-(
