@cbouzy and the @Spoutible Team:

Can I group-report the now 4 accounts that have popped into my DMs to say “Hi?”

All men, most following only women, zero spouts, zero replies,
zero engagement with my content. [You get the picture.]

How do we get the message across that men who do this are creeps?

I haven’t blocked yet because I’m trying to decide what to do.

I hate it so much and I want it handled on a larger scale.

Soooo disappointed to see it pop up here, where our sense of personal safety matters to this community.

I want there to be better recourse than just blocking. One guy follows 139 women and ONE man. What do you want to bet he’s sent 139 DMs that just say “Hi? 👋🏼”
Put it in a spout, pal.

Women deal with this predatory behavior ALL the damn time. I want it to STOP and I want some endorsement from @cbouzy and @Spoutible .

I also want to see some allyship from men in this community.

I think that the only immediate answer is to limit DM’s to one’s followers.

That won't work they will just follow first. If we could restrict DM to mutuals though.......

You can set it to approve who follows you.

Yes. I will do that, and that gives me some level of protection but I am looking at the bigger picture:

I’ve changed my view a bit. In a bit I’ll be posting independent of this thread.
