Good advice I wish I’d seen it before I stupidly answered 4 of what I thought were just polite conversations😂
Dammed manners had me thinking it’s rude not to answer😂
I had a good friend get taken by one. She’s smart and surrounded by skeptics but her SO had passed and she got duped. She shared as a warning. If it can happen to her it can happen to anyone.
Well I can see how, especially when you are vulnerable I probably shouldn’t have widow in my bio. I must remove that I wasn’t really thinking. really set myself up I guess! But lesson learned😊
😂 oh “how am I enjoying the app, isn’t it good no bots just reasonable conversation”
“How are you going today I hope you don’t mind me messaging you”
“ where are you located”
“I’d like to know a bit more about you if you don’t mind” etc etc
I need to learn to just say f##koff! I’m 😂 getting there!
Shout out to all the porn bots with lots of exposed lady parts…I get about 8-15 every damn day….they all wonder how I am doing…oh and today, I got a gentleman…
They ain’t gonna stop…as BS grows; so will the crap…
Please tell the young girls the same towards men. I get 10 to 15 DM’s a day fishing. I’m not a sugar daddy but I might be willing to be your sugar baby.
Oh, you too, huh?
I have dozens of pretty young women who seem to be in love with me. And I'm sure that the next line will be that they want to get out of Russia and come sleep with me, if only I would send airfare...
Excuse me? I’m a 55 yr old married guy. I’ve never hit on a woman on any site. Nor would I. I get porn bots who apparently can’t read “no dms”. I block them. If guys are being dirtbags, report and block. I’m sure most of us on here aren’t like that.Thanks. Signed : normal guys on Bluesky.
Thank you! I’ve been on Threads since its inception - NO DMS FROM MEN. Bluesky? 5 in 5 days. And “just want to be friends” with a 77-yr old happily married grandmother. Sheesh. 🙄
The only DM I got was from a person who won the PowerBall and I'm pretty sure she is sending me $100,000. Really into me though. Asked so many questions.
FYI this is not an invitation to DM me. Unless you too want to etransfer large sums of cash. 😂
I turned me DM's off in Chat. If you have a friend you want to DM if you start a conversation & leave it open you can still continue even though you have DM's off if I've read it right.
they should have a separate section for that, you get to know people more, what you have in common and get more red flags out of the way hearing what people really think on a place like this, i'd think, but i've never been on a dating app so i have nothing to base it on.
I know. We shouldn't have to. I really only think about when someone makes a comment. I'm telling you, you're not going to miss it
If someone needs to tell you something.......
Also, got a Thread-like porn bot follower this morning. I reported it - hoping that doesn't start a trend. It was so gross getting those invites on Threads.
Yes thank you, I had three just yesterday. Look at profiles guys, it says I’m married and never respond, not here for that, please don’t waste my time & your own.
Tell you the truth I turned the chat feature off 3 weeks ago at least. There has been an upgrade or two in the interim. I thought it was under settings but can’t find it now. It’s called chat on Bluesky not DM. Fish around for it maybe someone can chime in. Warn in your profile and block ‘em.
Exactly.
If they can't read my profile and decide to DM, they'll get an earful and a block.
One of them told me he read my profile and decided to DM anyway. His profile says he has 3 daughters. He got a "no means no" lecture like you wouldn't believe.
by men inundating women with 1000s of unsolicited, mainly low-effort contacts which they are never going to, and never should have been expected to, sift through all of
Agreed! Also is anyone getting a lot of follow requests from the Illuminati, Publishers Clearing House Agents & Lottery winners giving away their money? 🤦🏻♀️
Yah never message me there! I have a massive amount sitting there and I don’t even even go in there to check it. The only way we’re gonna interact is on a post.
I just tell them straight up I don't respond to private messages on this platform, as I don't know if they are encrypted or not. If they continue to message me, I block them. That's called setting boundaries
I get multiple unsolicited DMs per day from fraudsters “women”, as well. I just delete every single one. I hope @safety.bsky.app gets a handle on these scam accounts.
Ok sorry. Go to the 3 bars at the top left and click. Then click on chat. Then click on those funny symbols on the right side top of that page. Click on that and turn off. Hope that helps!
THANK YOU! I spent yesterday and today blocking DMs manually and could NOT figure out where to change the settings. Found it and now I do not have to endure one more rose emoji with an uninvited comment. Thank you!!! 😅
I try my very best to vet followers I can but, it seems that when I follow some ladies, shortly after I get a DM.
My bio explains that I'm not interested, doesn't seem to matter.
Seriously. I started blocking them all and then I just decided to turn off DMs instead. 🙄 I don't even have a real pic of myself, you want to flirt with a blond avatar that could be anyone?? Get a hobby.

Ain’t nobody got time for that shiz. We’re trying to hold the line not hold your dick.

That doesn’t mean one should harass or give unwanted attentions, but for the some, it can very much offer connections of some sort

Am fuming!

It's the one thing I don't like about Bluesky.

I am tired of the "hello" and other nonsense.
Please let me and others know!
Thanks!
That’s it.
Guys: it’s creepy and stalkerish. Just stop it.

Well, Like a blind man at an orgy, I need to feel things out. Maybe BluSky is for dating but you haven’t cooked with the right Herb yet …
My bio explains that I'm not interested, doesn't seem to matter.
Instant block.
Stop being a bunch of jagoffs and making everything harder for the nice guys.
Sincerely,
Every guy who’s not a jagoff.
