Following is often as simple as because someone likes something you’ve said - not an inherent sign of creepiness
You could just change your privacy settings so that they can’t see yours either if it’s bothering you - e.g. set so only those you follow can see your activity and/ or put them on ignore. I did that when some became bothersome
But otherwise, yes, it’s possible for people to follow and view you without needing to know them. As long as they’re not in your dms, it’s not something to stress about
 
Doesn't make sense that someone can follow me and my activity and I can not do the same to them. I can't even
"ignore" them. No offence to anyone but I think that is fucked up. Does anyone else think that is fucked up?
Thanks for your comment.
 
Well ya but they blocked you before following you right?
I assume they did. I got the notice that I had a new follower and went to look at the profile of my new follower and I was NOT ALLOWED to view.
Plus they can’t really see anything but your comments s right?
They can read my comments and my profile and my posts and my recent activity. Tell me why I can't block them. And I can't see anything about them. I don't like that at all. One member can watch me but I can't even communicate with them.
NOT a happy member here!

I agree it feels ick that they can
I think you can follow them if you choose, hence the fact you can’t stop them from following you
But the key thing is, you can stop them seeing your activity and profile by clicking on your name, then privacy, then something along the lines of only allowing those you follow to do so. You can also limit who can dm you
Like Pavlov here, desperate to try and provoke a reaction and let us know he’s creeping on us - you don’t want someone like that following you thread to thread

I tried to ignore them but I see no way to do that as I can't access their profile. Also he is already following me.
I have no control over this situation. This is not right!

To ignore - click once on his name, and then you can ignore (to the right)
To limit who can see your activity - top right hand corner, click once on your avatar, to bring up various options; go to privacy. At the bottom is ‘allow members to’ - you can then choose from the drop down menu who can do what
Good luck

If you click on his name you are not allowed access. Without access you can not ignore him.
My choices on who to allow are
All visitors
Members Only
People you follow
No One

There is no option to block access to those who block access to me. I can not ignore him if he is blocking me or everyone.
 
Even if a person limits their profile from being seen you can still see their posts and things by searching for that username.

So if you avoid following him, then choose only those you follow, problem solved…
Hope that helps
