I block them. This is not a dating app. One person DM’d me to say I look so beautiful in my profile pic. Hello, it’s flowers. This is why I never put my photo on line.
Agreed! Also, I got quite good at recognizing bots at the other place, but here I'm not so sure. Do you block or just not follow back:
- an account with no bio or posts
- an account with 4-5 posts, all pictures of the same person (usually a man), not sexy but no real information
I’ve gotten better at spotting the instant
“Hello” DM guys. Nice looking, middle aged,?rugged, usually with stubble, few posts, not many followers. They can’t even be bothered creating a good description of themselves. I’ve blocked all of them.
I just feel sad for anyone who might be swayed by this sort of bullshit. I decided this morning that I'm going to screenshot all of these and start putting them out in main. These guys need to know we won't tolerate disrespect, coercion and harassment behind closed doors.
I don’t have “🚫DM” in my profile. If someone refers to something I posted I figure they are probably human and might actually have something to say. If the DM starts with a generic “hey, how are you” they get blocked.
My DM's are set to only people I follow, yes I get sloppy with vetting.....so I just mute then block anyone sending me a 'hello' DM. Just NO...it is creepy! I have had a DM convo with one person...I invited her to DM me, we discussed some issues she is having with her newly rescued dog.
Click on "chat", at the top of the page, beside the "new chat" button, there an icon there, click on that.
There you have three options, DMs from everyone, just those that follow and nobody/off.
My personal favorite was the DM from some guy on how attractive I was (immediately after following me and it says no DMS in my profile) but I only have a picture of my fence and the puppy. Maybe I would have had a more robust dating life if I were a Cavalier King Charles spaniel!🤣🤣
I just got one of those now ffs.
It was usually a profile I won't follow back, a couple of pics of some young woman, but it said in the profile, "no DMs", so I thought maybe it was legit.
I get a DM within a couple of minutes of following back, the usual. I told them of their hypocrisy and blocked.

Unless someone asks you publicly if you would permit a pvt convo.
Only creeps and pervs do that.

Unless it's @markhamillofficial.bsky.social . He can talk me up like a pull-string Cathy Chatty doll.
