PSA: the bots are getting sneaky
Hey guys just fyi, I haven’t seen anything about this, but I don’t get a follower notification when a bot follows me anymore.
My follower count will magically go up, but my activity doesn’t notify me of being followed by them. But when I click on my list of followers, there they all are.
At first I thought this was an issue with my tumblr specifically, but I still get notified when other people follow me, so I think that the bots just found a work around.

hi. sorry for sending this ask. I know it might inappropriate but we badly needed some help right and i hope you’d consider .. its for our cat who needs immediate care, you can find the post in my blog as i pinned it. Hoping you’d be so kind to boost/share to help us alleviate the cost as it would tremendously help us a lot. if you can, pls try to answer this privately as some people might i pressure you to do so.. i know its weird, just wanted to avoid it if possible. Thanks a lot, and sorry again for being so direct. 🙏
okey dokey galpal, here's the thing!
you get a soft 1.5/10 on credibility, because the blog description may have been convincing in isolation, but it's gonna be a big fat 0/10 on pretty much every other metric, because your blog is 21 hours old, so is your pinned post, and this is a literal copypasta of a message someone under a different iteration of your username has already attempted word for word. you don't have a cat, you suck at this, and you should really find a better grift in future. thanks for playing, don't try again!!!

So I went to tumblr and found this message (the one in the picture) if you found it too Do not click the link it could be a virus. The thing that is right to do is block them
Allora sono andato su tumblr e ho trovato questo messaggio (quello nella foto) se lo hai trovato anche tu Non cliccare sul link potrebbe essere un virus. La cosa giusta da fare è bloccarli

I am... baffled.
Just checked my spam messages folder on Facebook, and in addition to the usual "porn spambot girl account that's already been deleted" and "slightly less obvious porn spambot account saying something like 'hey babe' out of nowhere" messages...
...there was somebody who appears to be TRYING TO SELL ME A HORSE.
What the heck!? 😂

Check your FFN reviews
As the title implies, if you post to FFN, check reviews on any of your most recently updated stories. I say that because I got an anonymous review on my Remus x Tonks One-Shot Collection (deleted the message of course), but the image of the review can be found below the cut.
Be forewarned that the message references pedophilia, rape, and child pornography. There are no graphic images (thankfully) but I was VERY alarmed to find this posted as a review on that one-shot collection.
I hadn't realized I hadn't checked 'yes' on moderate anonymous reviews. They will now be moderated for FFN, and I submitted the message to support at FFN. Just keep an eye out, it's obviously spam but it's appalling that anyone is trying to spam with messages like this, and I wouldn't want any of your readers to come across reviews like this before reading stories published on FFN.

today I met and lost a soulmate
it all started with a simple message:
immediately i was intrigued: what's a fulturle? is it like a turtle? does it imply the existence of a fultoise? so many questions, so few answers... so i replied:
surprising, but I'm curious (of course I remain ever cautious, it could be a bot!)
hmmm, which one? my pfp (Magellan from the anime One Piece) or actually me and not at all famous actor Leslie Nielsen?
also, getting carded for the first time in 50 years was quite nice
but I needed answers:
yes, nice!
huh? could it be... the famous p0rn I've heard so much about?
ah, right, I'm on Tumblr, the no porn site, so, no
but soon my disappointment was overshadowed by an interesting offer!
art and money! what more can a humble tumblerina such as myself ask for?
maybe not my brightest business decision, but I wanted to close this deal so badly!
unfortunately, god things only last for so long... and that thing about Discord dredged up some painful memories I hadn't thought about since the Accident™
but luckily for me, they seemed understanding:
I, however, am not such a kind soul and have more difficulty letting my dark past go...
but like the good businessperson they seem to be, they cleared pas this awkward moment brilliantly (and with much empathy!)
I see they try to engage but I cannot let go, this is my last reminder of her after all... I will not sell!
and then, the worst case scenario happens:
they suddenly reminded me of what I had to look out for out there, where the grass shine greener than the Sun
you see, I owe Ted my life, he pulled me out of the darkest times of my life with the strength of his two human sized bare hands when I was in the metaphorical jungle but also in the middle of a very real (and dangerous!) jungle.
but they remain steadfast, so i try to emulate their strength fo soul
I also attempt to be more forthcoming and open to amend my previous impetinence:
I am not happy with the reaward I reap for my efforts, however...
so I make it clear I do not like to be demeaned in such a way and I wish to be treated like the perfectly normal sized human that I am:
sadly, this is the last contact we ever have, no message, no phone call, no letter...
I am lost without my soulmate, lost and alone, at 67 years old in front of the cold blinking cursor, reminding me of all that could have been but never will be.
Goodbye sweet angel, with love and many XOXOXO,
Ted Bank from Californio
