I’ve been seeing posts like the example below being inserted into my feed. They’re always from a zero-follower account that I don’t follow and they always have weird, bolded headers.

I’ve reported a few of them already.

@crispius
oh. not good for reporting because if you can specify what's wrong they take action faster.

@SnowshadowII
A little box pops up where I can specify a reason for the report. But I imagine their ‘inbox’ is probably overflowing. I figured by posting this way other people who are experiencing the issue might also pipe up.

@crispius

yes, that's a good idea.
I can't find the account. There are many "joker" s but none with that avatar...unless it's playing games and switching.

I wouldn’t put a lot of effort into it. It’s a different sock-puppet account each time. The concerning thing to me is that someone has obviously found an exploit that allows them to push posts into people’s feeds without their consent.

@crispius They are posting using the #technology hashtag, which you are following, so those posts appear in your timeline.
I am not sure what app you use, but it does not support displaying the hashtag for some reason
