Just got a ‘follow’ from this account. Does it look a bit odd to you? #mastodon
Are we seeing the begining of ‘enshitification’ in the fediverse? Moderators and admins have some work coming their way in the next few years as the ‘bird’ finally dies off to keep the fediverse within the bounds of what should be a friendly, non-threatening (non predatory) social space. IMO. Screen shot fo account in comment.

@RaymondPierreL3 yeah, it's happened a few times to me as well and one of them still follows me. The one im speaking of actually joined in early 2023 but had very little activity before following me and asking personal questions. When I told them I'm not discussing my personal life, they stopped responding and went no-activity again.🤷♂️
They can try, but I bet they won't get far here. So, even if the moderators don't really act, I don't see it as a huge issue because if we all know they're bots/scammers, then who they gonna scam? 🤷♂️non-issue in my opinion.

@BeAware I’m hoping you’re right about these accounts dropping off due to lack of interest.

@RaymondPierreL3 I've never seen one that posts regularly. There are some legit NSFW accounts that like to post themselves, but they make it very clear what they are.
