  when one removes a follower from one’s blog, does that send a message automatically to the person?

  I’ve tried different things…

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  See the How to Remove a Follower section of the My Followers support page.

  when one removes a follower from one’s blog, does that send a message automatically to the person?

  I don’t know if they’ll receive a message about the removal.

  @maidiebike – following the instructions here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/followers/#how-to-remove-a-follower

  I logged in as my alte-ego* account and followed this account’s primary site. I then logged in as me and removed my alte-ego follower. No notice of removal was sent to the alte-ego account.

  I might need more coffee. That sounded like a revolving door to me.

  (*alte, as in “old”)

  But it is worthwhile noting what appears when you click REMOVE:

  If removed, this follower will stop receiving notifications about this site, unless they re-follow.

  Would you still like to remove this follower?

  So removing for good? Not so much.
