Reddit rolled out three updates aimed at giving its users more control over their followers.

Redditors can now opt out of followers by going to their account settings on Android or iOS or to the profile tab in their user settings on the web.

In a feature that had already been available on Android and iOS, web users can now view and manage followers by going to their profile and clicking on the arrow next to follower count, which brings up a searchable list in order from newest to oldest.

And push notifications and emails alerting users when someone new follows them have been turned on again.
