#followrequests — Public Fediverse posts

I'm getting several follow requests per day from accounts with no introduction, no posts, just a photo of a man and no profile. Sometimes they try again when I reject the request. I assume they are trolls and scammers. I think I'm going to start blocking them instead of just rejecting them.

Periodic PSA for the inattentive folks in the back:

I vet everyone who follows me. If I don't like what I see when I look at your profile, I don't accept the request.

Things I don't like:

* No profile.

* Short history in the fediverse.

* No posts of your own.

* Looking like you're trying to extract something from me.

Specifically, when an account that is evidently linked to a business, I wonder what their deal is.

Are they following people as some sort of marketing tactic?

I don't like being used this way.

So I reject the request.

If they come again with another request, guess what? They get blocked.

Let me put it simply: abusing follow requests is not a costless proposition.

I've just blocked a company for this. I *might* have been interested in their products, but now I won't have the opportunity to show interests, because they are blocked.

I'll just buy my shit somewhere else.

I have taken the option of vetting all follow requests. Too many bad experiences from fake accounts on Instagram, I guess. It's been useful here. Some obvious bots. But I HATE it when there's a newish account that you can't TELL for certain if it's a legit noob or a bot. Had one sitting untouched in my notification for about a week now. Pretty sure that it's a bit, but not TOTALLY certain, so they exist in nondeterministic limbo.

As usual, I forgot that I turned on that feature that requires that I accept follow requests.
