Hello ! I would like to ask for your opinion, please. I am being followed by strange accounts ; they have nothing to do with Role Playing whatsoever, they are all titled unknown with a woman picture and, most, have their description (I'm using a phone) like “ Money (emoji) something (emoji) something” and I have already reported/blocked about 50 of those people. Does anyone have similar experience ? How can I make them stop doing it ? It's putting me on the verge of a panic attack every time I see someone following me now and it's scary.
Thanks for the answers. And sorry if I'm bothering you.
this got swallowed by the ONSLAUGHT of notifs, but it's okay bc i'm here now and i am ready to respond!
so these weird accounts are called "spam bots". they're not real people. i have no idea why they're on tumblr, or why i took a two week hiatus and came back to find no less than 47 of the feckers on my followers list, and i still get the occasional follow from one, even now!
from what i've been told, reporting and blocking them is the best way to go. they're weird and annoying as heck, but ultimately, once you block them, you're fine! or do what i do, and wait a few days to just clear out a bunch of the bots at one time, because otherwise it's repetitive and exhausting and it just doesn't do the oul' serotonin any good at all.
i'm really sorry that they've been scaring you! but from my own understanding, they're harmless. just very, very, very irritating. they're like mosquitoes. but the warmer months are rolling in, and i think that's why i've been getting less of them on my blog!
