It's my tiny little weightlifting gym I run. Well, it's a "strength" gym, but I kicked out my last CF competitor and I won't train the one PL who I let in, so it's just weightlifters now.

Good work. Keep it exclusive. It's the fish that John West rejects that makes it so good.

Followed (LittleMuskOx)
************
I also just blocked 12 or 15 accounts that were force posting to my feed w/o following (not that i wanted that either), and who had nothing to do with Exodus.
IG models, guys with cars and Raps....Cyrillic/non Modern Latin looking writing on several of them.

Re: Instagram
I don't think it's them. But you may know better.
I just realized these accounts actually forced me to follow them.
I blocked them, but noticed my following number was high, and when i looked, they were there.
No indicators of follows though.
C****s
*Wait. These are ones i hadn't blocked yet. (Not Ollie's Gym)
And i already unfollowed before i screenshotted.
Several disappeared when i blocked one

I think if you set up 2 step authentication this might stop. It seems they are getting in by brute forcing or somehow getting your password. If you require a code to be entered that is sent via SMS to your phone they can't use your password in isolation.Wilhelm wrote: ↑Tue Jul 24, 2018 7:02 amI don't think it's them.

Re: Instagram
Thanks, @damufunman
I use my PC, but i'm just setting it as a private account now, and changing pass.
Seems to have worked. Changed email as well.

Quoting this again, because i should have started a different thread about my issues. Seems like this thread should just be for people's handles and linking Exodus members on IG.

I am using Gramblr, because otherwise i wouldn't be able to post, since i only have a PC.
I just stay on top of it, and block accounts that force a follow.
it's not a daily thing, or even an every week thing.
I did have to change my password once, because i was getting a shitton of forced follows.
I was lazy, and merely added a couple of characters to my actual IG password to use as my Gramblr one.
I've never used any of the "get more followers" things. That is most certainly not my style of using social media.
But it may be Gramblr.
It's working fine for me though.
Quoting happytheman again, just so people don't miss it due to my chatter
