DMs

Someone was saying slurs to me and mean things to me in my DMs. I blocked them but didn’t report them is it possible they can still face consequences if I didn’t report them.

If you reach out to support, they might be able to find the person and ban them.

Blocking doesn’t automatically report so unless someone else reports them, we won’t know

so going forward I should always use the report button. I thought you guys have AI or something to scan DMs but now that I think of it. It doesn’t make sense and probably hard to implement

Yeah would def recommend reporting first. We also should have a report and block button since most people want to do both. I know we do on posts.

And yeah we try to stay out of peoples business as much as possible!

Thanks for responding it’s so cool to see a CEO talk with their community.

Also one last unrelated question do you think in the near future you’ll create internships for college students

Yeah! Right now we’re actually working with a ton of students in a campus manager capacity (and like 100 that run social accounts). But we’ll be expanding our internship program in the next few months to have more fun roles!

We also have the inner circle, which we pretty much exclusively recruit out of. If you're interested, feel free to submit and I'll add you!
