Unfollow

Sometimes, Users want to unsubscribe from each other to stop seeing each other's content. The Unfollow defines such a change.

Refer to the Follow entity for information on how follow relationships work.

This is not used to remove a follower from a followee.

For example, if Bob follows Alice, this entity is used when:

Bob wants to stop following Alice.

NOT when:

Alice wants to remove Bob as a follower.

For the latter, use FollowReject.
