Ah, I read this wrong. I thought it was look someone up and figure out who you follow whom they also follow. Would rather you call this 'reciprocals'.

the earliest meaning of "mutual" was "reciprocal", the sense of "in common" is rather new.

I guess "Mutual admiration society" is too 20th century.

I had to look it up too. Just two people who each follow each other on social media.

Someone that you follow and also follows you.
