I can’t say that I’ve ever even seen pedo spammers on IG. But I guess that says good things about my algorithm; Since I don’t go out of my way to interact with kids, I guess the algorithm just doesn’t even bother showing me content that would have pedo spammers in the comments.

Or maybe they’re just being subtle about it and I don’t know the dog whistles to be able to identify them?
