I know it may feel important to let people know when they're following someone problematic, but I really do not appreciate the current culture of DMing strangers to dish a bunch of dirt on other strangers, especially when it is info that is already RAPIDLY spreading around.
Do you actually know the person you're messaging?
Are you warning them of imminent danger or loss (ex. Minor engaging w/known predator, current scammer, etc)?
If not, maybe reconsider! DMing is invasive, and many of these call outs contain potentially traumatic info.

Many of us keep our twitter time to a minimum and aggressively mute and filter to avoid the overwhelming amount of negative and triggering info this site produces. Forcing that info into someone's DMs circumvents those safeguards, with info the person can do very little about.
I do not appreciate spreading additional outrage, fear and discomfort in a time when we have so much already to contend with. Please consider unfollowing, telling your actual friends any info you think is important, and leave strangers alone.
