   So. When attempting to report fake accounts, there is no actual way to do this. Especially if they have posted nothing.

   The fuck @Gargron ?

   Why is there no good way to report a fake account like this one? Which SCREAMS "IMMA BOT, DADDY"?

     @Gargron three dots, report account, yes, yes. Problem is that the process requires you to select posts made by the account being reported before it will let you proceed through the "next" button. However, if said account has no posts...it doesn't work. There is also no selection for reporting a fake or bot account. This seems important because if we can't shut down bad bots and fake accounts, this place will quickly circle the drain, and I'm in no mood to go find somewhere else.

     @JenWojcik Apologies, looks like it's a mistake in our official Android app. Reports generally don't require any specific posts to be attached. You can report from the web app while we fix this.
