👋 Hi everyone!

Over the past few weeks, the number of join requests has increased dramatically, which unfortunately also means a much higher number of spam and bots (in the last days around five hundreds been cut off)

To help me distinguish real people from fake profiles - and avoid rejecting genuine requests by mistake - I'd really appreciate if your profile includes:
📷 A real profile photo
👤 Your full name (or something reasonably identifiable)
💬 If you contact me, please use English if possible.

I don't speak Russian, Arabic, or Chinese, so if your profile and messages are only in those languages, it's very difficult for me to tell whether you're a real person or an automated account. Thank you for your understanding and for helping keep this damn community welcoming and spam-free!

With love,
Alessandro 😈
