@katzentratschen Good question! That's because labeling the button with its actual action, vs. a status, is a better practice from an accessibility standpoint.

@imanijoy It is? If I'm reading "Follow back" I always have to pause and think.

@imanijoy @katzentratschen This is just one random person's opinion, but I wanted to note that I very much agree with that, even though the accessibility implications aren't relevant to me. When I see a button, I want to figure out whether I would want to click it, which generally requires understanding what will happen if I click it, and action labels make that way easier.
