I didn’t find a setting to prevent users and bots from following my piefed account without my approval. Is that just not supposed to be there?

Yeah, super weird…
I get that they wanted to jam twitter and reddit knockoffs together, but it really shouldn’t be.
Icing on the cake was that there’s someone else following me, but Mastodon says I “chose” not to share that info?!
https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]/followers
I haven’t fucking chosen anything with Mastodon, have no account and never interacted it before just now to see who was “following” me.
But it defaults to letting people do it, and prevents those accounts from even seeing who’s stalking them.
Bad news: should you even “choose” to share your follower list, Mastodon.social would show only your followers from Mastodon.social. Full list of your followers is technically available only on your instance. But Lemmy has not forethought its users being followed…
