Might want to mask that phone number.
It's the bot's number. Fuck em.
I understand, but keep in mind it could be an innocent user whose phone is taken over by malware, better be safe than sorry.
Good point. Done.
Oh, you can update the picture on Lemmy? Didn’t even occur to me, because I’m so used to the bad practices of Reddit.
Or one day a huge poster sells their account for a bunch of money and all the top posts across many communities become ads.
We have logs right?? (i genuinely don't know and am hoping we do)
Well, as long as Lemmy remains small enough, content swapping probably isn’t going to be a major issue. I think I’ve seen some posts about the data Lemmy collects. Isn’t there like a public history of upvotes, edits and all that?
Y'all so wholesome
Or a spoofed number, it works with calls, I assume it also works with SMS?
A spoofed number only works going out, but if you respond, it would go to the real person instead (the same if you call the spoofed number back, you’d get the real person and not the spammer). Since this bot is responding to their replies, it can’t be a spoofed number.
Nah, it’s a telephony number being used by spammers.
