Well i followed an artist on bluesky. after seeing them follow me and they chatted with then saying they were a commission artist looking for work and if i was interested. And i said "Not at the moment right now But thank you very much."  And got a reply saying "But why are you tight on money" As i explained "Really right now resting after doing an event last month." (For the event i was participating in artfight.)  After that i got a reply that really found quite inappropriate They wanted money upfront when i wasn't interested at the moment.

I've dealt with solicitors doing this on discord from servers on on ad they get dealt with quickly. But on bluesky just what is going on how do i handle this.

Also seen this happens a lot on discord servers. especially since i tend to get these types and block on site. As well got some banned off servers. since it's very easy to find and report then. (There's usually big tells.) Artists don't dm people to ask for commissions. Since the art speaks for itself as well as experience.

That's a red flag especially if they're doing commissions considering most payment processors require you to be 18 to use their services.

I have a question about this did this change have something to do with what has been happening lately on social media.

Really disappointing from her recent journal that she still seems to not learn that the drama is not her fault then why there seems to be so many AB's on her that she doesn't understand about owing customers their artwork.

It's for the best especially with bots popping up on twitter stealing other people are turning them to NFT's.

I would say no since sending money through Friends and Family robs you of paypal protection. Plus something like that seems quite shady.
