So last night on some social platform I've been a member of for over one year, I got an unsolicited friend request out of the blue.

What to do?

I decided to sleep on it. At first, I was thinking of talking to the user, but I had seen their activity. They had joined the site a few days earlier, and frankly it looked like they were spamming friend requests. I mean, they even managed to befriend a known catfish. That shows some great judgment right there.

(By "known" I mean known to me. The guy has a picture of some highly expensive sports car in his pics, and you can easily find it online, plastered all over the net. I reported him to the platform a few days ago. That guy likes to pass as a multimillionaire.)

They also had no pictures, no bio, etc. They could have moreover been in on the catfish scam.

So I clicked ignore on the friend request. They are still free to talk, but I don't want to open a communication with them, if they seem to pick their friends from the bargain bin.

Phantom ? Does anyone know if the notification stays up even if the person who has made the original request has changed their mind whilst awaiting approval ?
I had the notification saying that I had some requests but nothing there when I clicked the icon ??

@jondaria@mastodon.social user- hi. I am trying to send you a direct message but I cannot get the hang of this. So if you see this please send a follow request. I tried to figure out how to find your profile and send one. It didn't work. Hope you had a great holiday weekend even if all you did was work. If you didn't celebrate I hope that the money was good and the food plentiful and friends around. I wish I took a picture of my dinner but I didn't.
Oh well, I defo ate.
