It's a little concerning when someone with no posts, a creepy icon, and a very minimal profile follows you... Particularly if they're following literally thousands of other people. I uh. Really don't know what to do right now, I can't tell if this is a followbot or an actual person who can somehow handle following that many people

@Felthry they followed one of my, um, alternate accounts, so i'm pretty sure they're a followbot [since their account doesn't exactly have the feel of someone who would be interested in that sort of thing]

@g to make sure we're talking about the same account, the one on bsd.network?

@g okay, I'm going to block them then since they seem to just be a bot

@Felthry same, even if they are a person their blank profile makes me nervous

Follow

@g well the thing that had me questioning was that the profile wasn't quite blank
