I’m a long time open networker. What that means is I follow back, but I don’t make small talk with strangers in my DMs.
Nope. I work fraud prevention and am pretty good at self protection.

Yeah. Most of the accounts I post and report get deleted.

I’d almost say Blue Sky has good protections.

Yeah. Crypto has killed at least one one my friends. :’(
February 8, 2025 at 5:21 AM
I did.

I end up reporting anyone I post.
February 8, 2025 at 5:15 AM
They do. And, in my experience, some people do fall for it.

It makes me so mad and sad.
February 8, 2025 at 5:00 AM
Yeah. I generally know it’s a scammer before I follow back.

I just want to actively burn their accounts so I don’t just block them, I just encourage them to give me reportable messages. Just by replying to them.

And he comes back and literally threatens to kill me.

@joehenley.bsky.social why are you messaging me on my DMs?

You are a stranger. If you want to talk to me, this is where I talk to strangers.

They are tagged as impersonation.

@joehenley.bsky.social

Yes. This is how and where I talk to strangers unless they give me a reason to go private.
But small talk with strangers is not for my DMs.

And personal information is not for strangers.

I have fared better with illness (I get randomly off, but less sick and less length of illness) than my partners recently.
It’s like I have a hair trigger and everything is the same so Covid is just a cold to me. But a cold is like Covid. 😵. I’ve always had to verify illness with others.
