Are controlled by you, regardless of the number of notifications you receive in your account.

Notes About "Following"
-
If you create a new post, the system will automatically set your following status to "Following" for that post. If you don't want to follow your own posts, you will need to specifically un-follow them.
-
If you comment on a post that you are not following, the system will automatically change your following status to "Following" for that post, since it assumes you now have an interest. If you don't want to follow these posts, you will need to specifically un-follow them.
