I'm still rejecting 5+ follow requests every day from people who haven't read my text about me not accepting following requests from people I haven't interacted with and who I don't have something in common with.

I sometimes feel a bit bad about it, but if we have nothing in common, and we have never interacted it often is hard to figure out if the account is real, that there is a person behind it etc, I don't report these, because that wouldn't make any sense, but it's kind of weird, some times it feels bottish when I get 6 follow requests from the same account.

@sotolf don't feel bad, they could be mostly automated or they just clicked "follow" because your profile was recommended when they created an account. there is nothing wrong lol

@Stellar Yeah, I'm having a feeling that they are scanning who boosts or answers to some specific people and then just follow everyone there :p

I'll just keep the shields up :p

@xarvos @Stellar Yeah, with those I'm a bit more lenient usually if I can recognise the person, then usually I go through their latest written posts and read their pinned toots and description and let them in when I feel like they are a real person and someone who I feel would fit in :)
