Do you trust members of SimilarWorlds who don’t have any friends, hide their friends, or no post but still send you messages or talk to you in private

It’s always interesting to see how people navigate privacy here. If someone has no friends listed, hides their friend list, or doesn’t post much, does that make you trust them less, more, or not affect your trust at all?

The annoying 'Hi' DM from someone with no posts/friends, few forum subscriptions and no indication of anything in common just gets ignored and their 'follow' request removed a few days later.

@FreddieUK Better still: "Hi!" from an unknown acct followed by an immediate block.

@SomeMichGuy Not had that! How dare they block me before I can block them. 🤣

@FreddieUK It's a bit odd, isn't it?

@SomeMichGuy You probably had a narrow escape from a really weird encounter.

@FreddieUK Let's hope!
