Steve Hunt 🇪🇺🔶 #RejoinEU #FBPENov 12, 2022

Getting an lot of followers with absolutely no information to enable me to decide whether I want to follow them back. No bio, no posts (or more often, posts not available on my instance), can't view their follows/followers.

Can people please please put some useful information in their bios? Realise that, due to the federation, their posting history might not be available for a prospective follower to look at.

@deepfriedsteve I’ve stopped following those with empty bios for the time being especially if they’ve not tooted anything, I’m sure they’re all fine but you never know! I thought it was maybe because they’re not sure if they’re staying and felt it wasn’t worth it but a basic bio only takes a minute.

@weaniejeanie53 @deepfriedsteve The other day I helped someone who was struggling with their shopping... but only after asking for basic bio. I knew they were being truthful because their lips were moving.

@stagolee @deepfriedsteve it’s hardly the same is it?

@weaniejeanie53 @deepfriedsteve It is to me. Also, how do you know someone's bio is truthful?

@stagolee @deepfriedsteve you don’t but at least if it says something it gives you a chance to decide if they’re your sort of person. Helping someone with their shopping is a momentary thing, you don’t need to know their views on anything just that they need help, hopefully relationships on social media last a bit longer!
