I suspect what we have in common is that we all use Lemmy or Mastodon
Of course, but people who aren't active seem to get fewer spam. But they might just don't post it, because they are inactive.
Yeah I only started getting them when I posted/commented
I thought it was because they are reading comments and posts that people share and spamming those people.
Had something similar on reddit a long time ago, got added to a private subreddit because they saw me comment in a community
I've stopped getting them after my first one, and I've got none on the microblogging side of things.
i got a message yesterday, and havent been very active for a few weeks now
If the user isn't active, the spammers have less chance 9f getting their username
Woahhh, this checks out!
