Ok, so what’s going on here? I’m seeing a rash of big name accounts, from elsewhere, all joining AU this month and getting notified they are following me. Anyone else? Fake accts?

As a general rule I'm blocking any brand new acct who from out of the blue follows me and has 0 posts and only a handful of followers.

*Especially* if it's a 'very familiar' handle from somewhere else.

Nope.

The way I operate is when someone *shares content* that I've put out *then* I usually follow them .. and generally I find they follow back.
