Linda Sgoluppi ArtistIs it only me or am I seeing the start of more fake accounts on Mastodon? Usual culprits, military, no real bio etc and they send private messages. (I do report them).

GoesternHabt ihr auch regelmäßig neue Follower, angeblich weiblich mit aufreizendem Profilbild, die nur die große Liebe im Sinn haben?
Bin mir gar nicht sicher, ob ich so begehrenswert bin. 😅

sgt1372A good reason, among others, why I require approval of all "follower" requests . . . #FakeAccounts.

demI have noticed an increase lately in suspicious followers. I’m notified about a new follower, and by the time I check, the account has already been suspended. Or, the account hasn’t been suspended yet, but looks suspicious; for example, the account uses a salacious banner or profile image and has no followers or posts. I suppose it’s inevitable that scammers will invade Mastodon; I hope the countermeasures like blocking and reporting will help. Be careful everyone!

"Die EU sollte sich hier keinesfalls erpressen lassen. Was in den sozialen Medien derzeit passiert, ist weder harmlos noch irrelevant. Unsere Gesellschaften werden angegriffen, für kleines Geld und Bauernfängerei."
