I’m seeing a number of new followers with blank blogs (no posts or likes, default icon and header) but when i go to the “following” tab there’s like 5-6 blogs there. BUT I always see the same two blogs among that list and we don’t seem to have any fandoms in common. is this a new bot tactic? where they have a set list of blogs to follow just to look real?

it’s just us three in this world 😩 let’s hold hands @darkheart-darlings @hyper-fixated-princess 💛

I’ve been wondering the same thing myself.

There are two possibilities.

  1. Either it’s bots
  2. or tumblr is recommending our blogs to new users when they sign up

I haven’t been able to determine which of the two it is, so I’m leaving the blogs unblocked for now and seeing how they behave.
