problems with following and playing online

I want to play with friends

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

Sign in with your account at Xbox.com, then click your profile icon in the top right of the page.

- From the dropdown click the three dots and then Xbox Settings.

-That will take you to a page that has your Privacy & Online Safety Settings, from there you can toggle everything to 'Allow'.

They are followers as they have added you and friends if you add them. You cant remove them as it's due to them adding you so your option is to block them so they have no access to your feed, messages etc

It's unfortunate that that's how it works but ok, i'll just do that, thaks a los for answering

the followers can not eliminate them, but if they block, which in the end would be the same since they can not interact with you, let's wait and soon make that option to eliminate them

When you block someone, they can't see any of your social/online activity. They wouldn't even know you had them blocked unless you straight up told them. I know a lot of people don't like certain people following them, and that's understandable all you
gotta do is block them, but they way I see... Xbox Live is a social platform, the more followers the better. Unless, they are toxic players and trolls.
