Last month a "Velma" kept following me around Lemmy using their alts to harass and downvote me, then they popped back up the other day to tell me that the decades of Weinstein rapes were the same as non-physical sexual assault and consensual sex, which is crazy.
Anyone elae have weirdos or creeps following them around?
Looks like Velma's getting upset:
Or maybe this DM is not ftom another Velma alt and a random user is suddenly very upset at me personally for no stated reason. What a coincidence!
I have had follow requests which I respond with no but the gui seems to indicate they are my followers now. For what you are talking about I block liberally.
I've seen that following behavior as well, but I don't think I get a request for follows. I block a lot and have every intention of keeping the blocks going.
piefed has something in its software to create and ask on follows. Before it had automatic follows which I think was standard because of some sort of necissity with interaction with mastadon. Regardless though from my gui view it seems rejecting them do not work although im not sure if its because they are following or the gui just does not work right. I have talked to rimu and he does not see what I do on my account. I would not block someone for following me but im not a person looking to be followed.
Oh, interesting. Yea, I completely understand your perspective.
