It brings me no pleasure to point out that we have massive rings of engagement farming, grifting and outright fraud on this app

A lot of people here are motivated to make a few dollars, and that is totally fine. When you lie to do so or put together rings of engagement to manipulate the leaderboard it’s definitely not ok

Please be vigilant, I’ve found a few recent mutuals to be sketchy at best and most likely bad actors. The onus is on all of us to protect this app, otherwise we’ll be overrun with spam garbage in short order

feel like we should start naming names. have had my own suspicions and have seen a lot of people saying the same

Unfortunately I agree and have seen a few Nigerian accounts that are sketch and very hard to give the benefit of the doubt to. Student cabal I’m not sure I’ve come across as much (the former has had a number of casts go viral and end up on my main feed sans follow)

agree to both. the new nigerian accounts were sus to me and some of them are def farming but so are the student cabal. at the least its made me blv that we need something like circles or icebreaker to show a connection that conveys more trust than a follow

I agree. Everyone here tends to be very nice which unfortunately leaves us more susceptible to bad actors 

It can also be difficult to tell on some accounts (which I’m sure you’ve noticed as well). Hard to make a callout if you’re 70% sure of something
