I was just followed by an account(?) on mastinator.com. After careful consideration I decided to block the entire domain. Anyone (well, almost anyone) who wants to follow me is welcome, of course, but not anonymously. That's not cool.
I may reverse this decision in the future if I get more information, but, for now, this is it.
Follow
@josemanuel They could still just follow you as an RSS feed tho right? Anonymously.
@josemanuel True. I kind of consider nearly everyone on here anonymous lol
@obi Yeah. I only know one person here IRL and I haven't seen him in ages.
@obi Not the same. Followers-only posts don't go into the RSS feed. Neither do DMs, of course.
I'm still reading on it and it doesn't seem malicious, but we'll see. What I don't like is the anonymous side of it. I'd rather err on the side of caution with these things.
