People follow just to unfollow as a collecting scam, to appear more popular. Itβs so laughable. I also try not to follow celebrity shyte with 50k followers that follow back 3 people. Itβs utterly disgusting.
So lame - I know what you mean.
Don't DM someone as soon as they follow you. Pretty sure virtually all of those are bots and trolls, though.
yes! Please - I agree.
I feel like I've become much better at spotting and immediately blocking these. For the most part, their "bios" are dead giveaways. Every once in a while, though, one sneaks by me π€¬
Read the bioβs!! No _______ means no. Money Porn Crypto Dates and any other I missed.π€¬
Don't say anything to anyone that you wouldn't say to their face. Same goes for real life.
Great advice. ππΌ Thank you, Harriet.
This is a great idea for a thread! π

Don't follow someone and immediately unfollow them when they follow you back. π¬
ππΌ hate that!
Yeah I block people that do that
I'd also add... don't fucking tag me in a post asking me for money or help. I'm disabled and poor. If you spent 2 minutes looking at my page you'd realize that. Trying to pressure me like that will get you blocked every single time.
Amen, brother. I hate that.
I get like 5 a week because of my stance against Apartheid and Genocide. I always say go find NRC-Norway they are there and can help you.
Great idea. Providing a little info is a good thing.
The best in the business of helping people in war torn countries. Not just Gaza. www.nrc.no
they accepting Americans? asking for a me
contact them but they mostly hire locals to help their economy too.
ok groovy because the regime is throwing people who look like me in death camps
I've already had the Secret Service and FBI show up to my place to try and intimidate me about my posts...I'm on their list so I feel ya.
Good to know - and I'm not surprised. π³π΄
That's who I donate too. Every penny is spent to help others.
Looks like they're here too: βͺ@nrc-global.bsky.social β¬
Yup but they rarely post
My best advice for anyone is to read profiles. List your preferences. Make sure your followers have. No DMs is one ignored too often.
Amen, M. Great advice.
I would add I wait for interaction in the comments before I follow most folks to make sure they are real people and that they have something worthy of saying.
Wise move. Too many bots out there.
I had to block a very nice man whose feed was full of nudies showing off privates not that attractive to stem the constant flowβ¦geezβ¦
I've seen those accounts before too - even here, occasionally. Xitter is glutted with skin though.
Ottoβ¦thought that type of exposure left best for most undemanding connoisseurβ¦π
I get hooker spam and unwanted advances all the time. Instant block of course.
Canβt blame a gal for trying. Especially when a bit hunky. And you are, Ottoβ¦I donβt hold back much. ππ
I'm pretty clear about it in my pinned post bsky.app/profile/otto...
Yes. π
No βFollow-Backββ¦ Does not mean βGet AWAY from ME!!!β β¦ It could mean anything from βSmellsβ¦ Fishyβ¦ β TO βOh CRAP! I β’MISSEDβ’ their Follow Request!!!β
Good point, Paul. Good to see you, friend.ππΌ
Or, any other DMsβ¦
ππΌ
Donβt yuck other peopleβs yums. If someone posts a food or book or band you hate, just scroll on sans comment!
Works for other topics too. If you donβt like the news, go out and make some of your own.
Right? Thats so lame! Very good point! π₯°
Thanks! π
Have a fine day, friend! π€
