This will be a quick post.
We have received a phishing mail to our info@lemmy.world mail address telling that they are "lemmy.world Security Team", telling that they will "disconnect" your account from our instance. This is ofc, not us. Do not fall for it! The attached image is how the mail looks like.
Your typical Lemming (for lack of a better term) is not technologically inept and would generally not fall for a phishing scam. They'd earn a lot more money from targeting Redditors.
Aren't people who use lemmy already or had used reddit I mean lemmy was brought out as an alternative to reddit which many people on reddit flocked to when spezy wezy started doing his you-know-wut
Plus I'm sure there's alot of people here whom won't be as informed about phishing emails
It's more like there's a technical barrier for using Lemmy (or any fediverse social media for that matter) and for actually giving a shit about Reddit's API policy.
There's a tendency for more tech-saavy people going to Lemmy.
