Compare this to Batch. Batch uses Facebook exclusively and doesn't communicate that people are "following" you when they sign up (or to use Facebook terms, they don't indicate that people have become your friend either, they simply say they've joined Batch). They just assume that you have a relationship because you authenticate with a platform that already says you do. Very straight forward.
This is very similar to Oink's behavior, but far far less presumptuous in the way it communicates. Personally, I was thankful that Batch saved me the work of curating my network. But if you use Oink's language/behavior you have an app that says I followed someone when all I did was sign up? They almost immediately lose my trust. Not a good way to start the relationship with me.
