I got a bunch of follow requests without intros recently. They'll probably languish in my FR box for a while before I delete them. 🤷‍♀️

I'm pretty serious - if I don't know you (to be read as "on hugging terms in the orthocosm" for simplicity), please don't send a follow request without an intro. I'm just not willing to compromise my safety. I get vulnerable here, ok? The least you can do is reciprocate.

@tastymochafox By "intro" do younmean someone sending you a DM first, or by having info in their profile? Just curious about terms, that's all.

@emanate Ideally a DM or any kind of personal contact I guess. I don't know who most of the 10 FRs in my inbox are :/

@tastymochafox Gotcha.
I'm...guilty of a little bit of that, but mostly I try to interact with folks in replies and such first.
