in reply to Mark Wyner Won’t Comply • • •One other piece of advice for the new folks. Make sure you have a bio and avatar right away. I, and many others, are skeptical to follow folks back if they don’t have these. Often blank accounts are spam or bots. If they are humans, we don’t know who we’re following.
I’ve had many new followers in the past 24 hours, and haven’t followed many of them back for this reason. I’m here for community, not numbers.
If you followed me but didn’t have this, holler at me when you do. 🙌🏻
