Heyo, friendly reminder that if there's media you're consuming and don't want to get spoiled to block tags for that media

Reminder also to tag your posts and reblogs if you don't want to spoil your mutuals

I forgot and got reminded the hard way and I can blame no-one but myself. Learn from my mistakes!! Don't follow my path!! Trust me it's twisty and very very confusing

PSA for Discord users There's another bot DM scam going around (at least that's all I can assume it is)

They typically follow a pattern: They send you a friend request*- sometimes they're from a mutual server, sometimes not (I've gotten one from an account that had no servers in common with me) *Note: Don't accept friend requests from random people, I have to keep my DMs open for business purposes but if you can you should disable receiving DMs from people outside of servers you're in. And even then don't accept friend requests from people that you haven't interacted with

If you message them or accept their friend request-

They will respond with the same message: Hi How are you?

If you respond with anything then-

They will advertise their "art"- They will claim to be a small artist or a professional artist and the ones that have messaged me range from doing twitch emotes and banners to vrchat models. They always finish their message with something like "Would you like to see my work?" If you say anything other than a yes or sure they stop responding entirely. I don't know exactly what would happen if you said yes because I've never done it. But my guess is they send you a link to their "art" and it would most likely be a scam or phishing website

Examples from the ones I've experienced:

The last one basically confirms that these are bots XD

As you can see none of them seem to follow any pfp or name pattern, but their typing patters are basically identical.

What you should do-

If you receive a friend request from someone you've never talked to, don't accept it. Typically it's not someone you'll want to talk to.

If you do receive one of these, don't accept their offer to view their "work" and if you do-

Don't click any links they send you. A good rule of thumb on the internet is not to click on any links that random people DM you. And bots tend to want one thing and one thing only! What their malicious employer wants- your info.

Block them and alert any mods or server owners from servers you share. I'm unsure yet if there's any way to report them as bots to discord so for now, blocking and getting them banned from servers is a good way to limit their reach.

And lastly

To any actual artists or creators out there!

Going into people's DMs in order to promote your work is never a good way to go about it. That is the quickest way to get someone uncomfortable and could even earn you a block or ban. Unless someone publicly asks for artists to commission and responds asking for more information- going behind closed doors (DMs) to "advertise" to strangers will only ever hurt you.

Instead promote your art publicly! On here or other social media! In discord servers that have channels for posting art or promoting your work! Do it publicly, put "Commissions Open" in your profile, any number of these things! While it may be frustrating actually getting commissions, promoting it publicly means there will be more eyes on your work at any point in time!

Remember, the internet is not a nice place, but we can do our best to look out for each other.

Stay safe out there!
