Is there any adverse effect other than seeing them in your list?
Just trying to figure out if we should add that feature

I believe we currently display followers in a list from oldest to newest? Maybe this is an opportunity to make it more interesting, maybe newest to oldest, or by last active
Then you won’t be stuck seeing the same names for the next 90 years (will vary depending on medical advances and global nuclear wars)
monkey[m]
Last active = most recent to send listens? Because we don't track users' connection activity.

Not sure if it solves elkiensad or elomatreb‘s problem, but that seems like an improvement to me!

it'd just be nice to have some control over your profile IMO :)
monkey[m]
Totally agree. In this case it would be a "hide this user from my followers" feature. It only modifies what will be shown on your profile rather than forcing the user to not follow you anymore.
If that's what you're after I think that could work, a simple "hide this user" button somewhere on your profile.
airwaves[m]
that could work too!
elomatreb[m]
@aerozol fwiw I don't have this problem, but IMO a site that has social features like following/commenting also needs the equivalent of a block feature

no
I should stop making my partners create a ListenBrainz account

<elomatreb[m]> "@aerozol fwiw I don't have..." <- Considering the open nature of the data in LB, I'm not sure there's much blocking we can do.
If I remember correctly, you need to follow a user back in order for you to see their feed recommendations etc. and vice-versa.
"Block" is basically "unfollow", but that can indeed leave the person in you "followers" list

As a temporary workaround: users can achieve it with an adblock rule
not related to lb though
elomatreb[m]
@monkey: I'd expect a blocking feature to *prevent* the other person from following me
monkey[m]
In terms of LB, I'm not sure what that actually means, that's what I'm trying to ascertain.
I don't know what else changes if a user unilaterally follows someones, other than being added to that person's 'followers' list
Ah, and the "my network" tab as well, which shows recent listens from users you follow
Which makes sens to "block" IMO, although it wouldn't prevent them from opening your dashboard page and see for themselves your recent listens
elomatreb[m]
this is similar to how blocking works on other social media sites fwiw, if I blocked you on Mastodon/Twitter/etc you would still be able to view my posts if you opened my profile in a private tab or something
I hope someday there will be a YouTube music client for Android that can scrobble with the URL
Actually I just remembered there's a Python script that submits scrobbles from YouTube music history to listenbrainz. Is it smart enough to not duplicate previous scrobbles most of the time tho?

i'm listening to a live version of a song and it keeps mapping to the mbid of the album version. if i link those listens to the live recording, will it also update my listens for the album recording? since it says it "will also link your other listens with the same metadata"

It shouldn't normally be a problem from my experience
That metadata normally includes stuff like album name that seperates the recordings
