remember to not be a dick because you have more tech literacy than other people
don’t be mean to scam victims
don’t be mean to people who got phished
don’t be mean to people who got viruses from “free vbucks” websites
instead, TEACH THEM about common scam tactics instead of judging them for being “dumb” ( or just say nothing at all ). shaming scam victims only helps the scammers
I work at a ccTLD (.IS), and lately we are seeing a *lot* of new accounts immediately registering multiple domains that all had been registered in the past. I suspect we're not the only ccTLD that sees this.
We know of at least two instances of this being used to take over social media accounts that had e-mails in expired domains set as backup e-mail addresses.
This seems to be organized and well-resourced.
Please double-check you don't use e-mails in any expired domains anywhere.
I will always retweet the Old Fashioned Hurgusburgus.
The first time I saw this I couldn't breathe.

d-fens.systems has no visible public timeline, its admin follows people on organized harassment instances, and it hosts a suspicious followbot. #FediBlock

“卖安利”means strongly recommending sth in mandarin. And “大会” means a big meeting or a event
Because a main sns platform in china called Weibo recently starts to show its users’ ip in public without permission and users can’t cancel that. Then a lot of users decided to leave Weibo, and we seize the chance to “卖安利” recommend mastodon to them XD
And his guess was spot on! Based on that idea, a little bit more focused searching found an article confirming "卖安利" (selling Amway) is a colloquialism for making a pitch on social media.
