Message previews would be super useful here so that I can see which requests I might want to accept at a glance

Mutual followers is also useful information but not a strong enough signal on its own

We had them before. 

I get a lot of message requests (here and Twitter), the single most useful signal is mutuals. Content preview is too short most of the time.

Make it longer? Two lines is usually a decent enough preview for me to decide which ones to prioritize opening

I think there’s this aversion to make cells too large but if this inbox is something that’s designed to be cleared + old content gets bumped down anyway, I don’t think there’s a downside to adding more context

Are you clearing it or not?

If you’re clearing, you have to click through anyway?

If not, then it doesn’t matter?

If you have a delete action on the inbox, agree that preview is important, fwiw

So if the request is preview + 1 click action from inbox then that makes more sense.

Yes, ideal would be preview + swipe action

I have been bad about clearing that inbox because I wish I could just archive instead of having to delete or respond since it’s nice to have the context in case they message me again in the future
