follower cleanup, pt. 2
A few months ago I went through and blocked all the accounts that were obviously fake or scams and took my follower count from 600 to 450. I tried to keep up with it but fell off social media for a while and it’s out of control again. I’ve got over 2,000 followers now, but it seems like every account that follows me is a scammer - let’s do another clean out! I’m not blocking people who just don’t have any info, I get that - but all of the “I wanna pay your bills!” or the “seeking female companionship” account have gotta go. I started with 2030 followers - how many do you think I’ll have left after this?
Also, where are my real people at?? My account absolutely doesn’t have a theme but if you’re into any of the following or post about any of it yourself, say hi!
✨ general mom stuff
✨ gentle (not permissive) parenting
✨ adult ADHD and/or autism
✨ cozy gaming
✨ crafty stuff
✨ queer love & support
✨ roller derby
✨ plus size fashion
Lastly - do y’all know how to spot these scams? There wouldn’t be such an ongoing trend of these folks trying this crap on here if it wasn’t working - would a post on how to spot them be something helpful? Protect yourselves friends, no one deserves to be scammed 💜

As social media platforms evolve, the presence of fake accounts and scams has become a growing concern among users. A recent study highlighted that nearly 20% of accounts on popular platforms may be bots or scams, leading to a frustrating experience for genuine users. To safeguard your digital space, it's essential to regularly assess your followers and eliminate suspicious profiles. Common red flags to watch out for include accounts with incomplete profiles, spammy usernames, and generic profile pictures. Additionally, be cautious of accounts that promise unrealistic financial opportunities, as these often signal potential scams. Engaging your audience while maintaining a clean list can also be a challenge. To attract the right followers, consider creating posts that resonate with your interests in gentle parenting, cozy gaming, or queer support. You might even invite authentic interactions by asking followers to share their experiences in your niche. If you’re contemplating deeper insights into spotting fake accounts, consider hosting a discussion or creating informative content that educates your followers on recognizing scam tactics. Remember, protecting yourself and your authentic online community is vital in navigating today's social landscape.
