Hellobee Boards

No I don't. Doesn't really concern me. I consider anything I post online easily obtained by the general public, so I don't post anything I'd be worried a stranger saw.

@bluestriped bee: If you're concerned, you could just delete anyone who you don't know. If they actually notice you missing and want to still follow you, I'm sure they can find some other way of reaching you?

I keep my IG private and know my followers. I've received random requests too. I check their profile and if they're not familiar from my friend circles, I deny the request.

I think all of my followers are HB or real life friends. I sometimes get confused on which HB name corresponds to which IG name but I know most of them.

Yes I do. I am trying to keep my insta pretty private, I didn't like that ransoms were following me way back when I started and decided to keep it to only people I really knew (well, mostly -- it includes some fellow oct 2012 mamas, but I feel like I know them! Hahah)

@bluestriped bee: you could change your IG name instead of having it deleted off the threads you've posted it on.

I "know" all my followers. They are either people from IRL or HB. I may not know what exactly their username is on HB but I know they are from here. I deny requests if I don't know who they are.

It's funny, I've received random requests from here, but I haven't linked to myself ever. I try to keep my list of followers on social media fairly small just because you never know.

I don't like approving people unless I know exactly who they are. I have a few people who have requested me and I think they're HBers, but I don't know who! So I haven't approved them yet....I also don't see their names on the IG thread!

@hilsy85: Haha same! I don't approve anyone I don't know.

I make sure I know who they are from HB before I approve them. I'll even leave them in my requests until I can figure it out (usually from an IG thread here or seeing them comment on a fellow HBers pics). I've definitely turned people down when I can't figure out who they are (sorry to anyone here if I did that to you!).

I know most HBers on IG by their LO's or they have a similar IG name. My name is completely different on IG though.

i don't have a private account as i use it for business reasons.

@bluestriped bee: I know you! I guess it's easier since I remember that name from previous use.

Ps if you have requested me on IG but I haven't approved its because I haven't made the connection between HB and your IG. So wall me if you're hanging out there.

I keep a pretty close eye on who is in my social media access, it's not very big, so it's pretty manageable.

@bluestriped bee: @Kimberlybee: I think I do need medication to crack my HB addiction

I know I appreciate it when there its some sort of link between the HB and IG worlds, it takes me a bit to track down and figure out who is who sometimes.

@LatteLove: mooohooohaaahaaa, we all say that lol!

I pretty much know who everyone is on my IG - Either people I know IRL or from here. Sometimes I have had to search back through the IG thread to connect the usernames though! I have only had a couple of weird IG requests where I had no idea who they were and I didn't approve them since I couldn't put it together.
