What is the easiest way to turn off the Follow feature?

We are running 9.2.

I saw this item in the Administration console, User Actions-->Follow User (Adds support for following users via user action links.)

Will disabling this achieve my goal to turn it off?

  • We're still thinking about whether to disable it. However, some users have described it as "creepy"! What might help is a way for users to see who is following them, and in turn whom they are following. I can't see that that exists?

    As I understand it, anyone you’ve followed and who is posting messages should show up in your activity feed, but they’d also appear there because they’ve posted in a thread to which you are subscribed - so, without analysing the feed, it's hard to spot those followed.
