HELP!
I have a follower listed as shown in the photo below.
I can’t block the account because clicking on the avatar doesn’t take me to the account’s page—just does a short buffer.
I don’t know if it’s connected but recently I’ve gotten a bunch of follows from women wanting to “connect” which I have been able to block.
What is this? How can I block it?

Sam @bronakins the account seems to have been suspended already so that might be the reason why you cant block it
Thank you! 
I’m relieved!
Looking at your Followers on your instance, it seems that account has been suspended
Thank you for checking that out for me!
Now that I think about it, that might’ve been one of the women trying to connect that I was blocking earlier— I ended up reporting one by accident.
Is that what I should do— should they be reported?
"Is that what I should do— should they be reported?"
If you want to reject someone who attempts to Follow you, merely Mute and Block them
If they've engaged in truly egregious conduct, (threats of violence, etc) only then Report them -- maybe
The general idea is that almost all instance Moderators are *wildly* overworked and reporting something simply because someone doesn't happen to like it is putting an unreasonable burden on them
Ah, thank you for the sage advice!
I’ve never intentionally reported an account & accidentally hit report when I was trying to block but it didn’t seem to be working.
I’ll be careful in future. I panicked trying to rid of these accounts with “femme fatales” offering to “connect” with me.
I’m here for news, adorable animal pics & nature photographs.
