Over the past week we've seen a noticeable uptick in men joining, following dozens of accounts with female avatars, and then messaging them directly.

Some appear to be real people, some are fake accounts with stolen identities.

Either way, this is stalking and harassing behaviour, and we have zero tolerance for it.

For those affected by accounts we fail to catch, please report them. We _will_ take action, and you'll help keep the community safe and welcoming for all.

Diolch.

@jaz Thank you for supporting and encouraging reporting, esp with a message that makes this clear it's a newer issue and it's widespread. It's too easy to accept behavior like this as part of being female-presenting, even when it shouldn't ever be acceptable.
