I'm sick of people — probably scammers — setting up Mastodon accounts with tragic stories in their profiles and pleas for money in their posts following me in attempt to gain attention for their purported plight. I block these accounts as soon as I see them. I have no fucking patience for this kind of shit. I'm not on social media to be scammed.

If you're the kind of person who boosts posts asking for money, I'm the kind of person who will turn off your boosts. #StopScammers

@mlanger I block them and have filters.
