Petra van Cronenburg<p>🧵 A thread on how to check <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/accounts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accounts</span></a> you don't trust.<br>Over the last few days I've been getting strange <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/followRequests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>followRequests</span></a>. People who have never interacted with me or my followers. I wonder how they find me. Usually, I at least check accounts to see if they are real people.<br>These accounts had strange patterns: Mostly politics, some as if they were fans of the EU. Very lefty. But when I searched more, I always found ideologies to destroy democracy or far-right ideas from <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/TESCREAL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TESCREAL</span></a>.

J. Steven York RESISTS<p>I have taken the option of vetting all follow requests. Too many bad experiences from fake accounts on Instagram, I guess. It's been useful here. Some obvious bots. But I HATE it when there's a newish account that you can't TELL for certain if it's a legit noob or a bot. Had one sitting untouched in my notification for about a week now. Pretty sure that it's a bit, but not TOTALLY certain, so they exist in nondeterministic limbo.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/spambots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>spambots</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bots</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/followrequests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>followrequests</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fakeaccounts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fakeaccounts</span></a></p>

Jon Woodhams Art and Photo<p>Can anyone tell me if there's a way to restore a follow request? I got one and meant to accept it, but I hit the X by mistake and now I can't find it. (I don't have follow requests turned on; Mastodon presents them to me under certain circumstances, apparently.)

FediTips has moved!<p>If you have a Mastodon account and follow someone, the follow button will sometimes display a "Follow request sent" message.</p><p>Usually this is because the other account has follow approval switched on, which means its owner will manually decide whether to accept your follow request. This kind of account has a padlock 🔒 icon next to it on its profile page.</p><p>However... Mastodon also displays this "Follow request sent" message if something has gone wrong with the follow, especially if you're trying to follow someone on a non-Mastodon server.</p><p>Partially broken federation often causes Mastodon to display this message, for some reason.</p><p>If you see "follow request sent" when you try to follow someone, and they don't have a padlock 🔒 on their profile page, then it's likely that the follow didn't work properly.</p><p>If a follow doesn't work properly, try unfollowing them (or cancel the follow request), wait a bit, then click "follow" again.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Following" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Following</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FollowRequests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FollowRequests</span></a></p>
FediTips has moved!<p>If you're screening your follow requests, it's probably not a good idea to reject or block someone just because their profile picture is empty.</p><p>There are many blind people on the Fediverse who don't use profile pictures. For example, the writer Robert Kingett at <span class="h-card"><a href="https://writing.exchange/@blindscribe" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>blindscribe</span></a></span> doesn't use one.</p><p>The most reliable way to screen accounts on here is just to read what they have posted, as this better reflects what kind of account they are.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FollowRequest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FollowRequest</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FollowRequests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FollowRequests</span></a></p>
