Hey OSSN!
Im currently looking into OSSN and I'm wondering if I could use it to simulate Twitter where people follows who they want to get updates from but the person being followed doesn't necessarily have to follow back or accept their request.

Yeah it could be possible as a component. There would be an additional button beside the 'Add Friend' as 'Follow' or 'Following'.
When not currently following, the button says 'Follow'. When clicking on the 'Follow', it would say 'Following' which then allows you to follow only public posts of the user.
When clicking on the 'Following' button, it would toggle to 'Follow' and you would then unfollow that user.
The user you are following would see who are their 'followers' which would be another menu item on the profile menu between the 'Friends' and 'Photos' listed as 'Followers' which would have the list similar to the Friends list page.

No, it is not possible in OSSN.
OSSN is like Facebook not Twitter.
Due to the many requests in the past for additonal features and components we have decided to develope a premium version. Features like Hashtags, Videos, Polls, Events, Stories, Link Preview, etc included in it.
