Is there a way to remove followers?

Ok, this is getting absolutely ridiculous. I’m now getting one of these spam follows literally every 24 hours or less, and now they’re not even making any minor variations to the bio; it’s literally just copy-paste verbatim every time!

I’m still not allowed to report them, and blocking them still doesn’t seem to be doing anything—and now it’s gone from a few a week to literally every gott damb day! This post is over three weeks old so nobody’s going to see it now, but apparently I can’t even re-ask or post an update because the mods will just delete it!

I seriously don’t know what to do and it’s beginning to feel like Reddit doesn’t give a shot. This has to be a known issue by now yet I’ve seen no official acknowledgment of it at all, after over three weeks!

Do I seriously have to completely cut off all my legitimate connections in order to deal with this? Is that seriously what Reddit thinks is the ideal solution?
