While at work, I spotted a scam on the Fediverse. The screenshots below show a Facebook post and a Mastodon post the next day. One claims to be a 36-year-old mother of two, the other a 19-year-old. Both posts use the same URL asking for money.

#Scam #Fediverse #GazaVerified
A photo from Facebook, from an individual claiming to be a 36-year-old woman with two children (ages 4 and 7). The post reads, "I'm stuck in northern Gaza, the bombing is approaching where I'm hiding, and I can't reach any safe place alone. I'm so scared, and I don't know how to act. I hope the world doesn't forget me." The person then attempts to overcome the spam filters by spacing out a URL (it was, of course, caught anyway). The second screenshot posted on Mastodon — just one day after the Facebook post — was made by someone claiming to be a 19-year-old girl. The post is identical to the original, using the exact same URL.

GoNetSpeed left a large spool of wire in the air. I am sure this is how someone gets to claim: "We wired the town, but as for service, that is different."

Make sure the towns' agreement says "service" and not just "wired".

GoNetSpeed is back today (Thursday, January 30, 2025), and as you can see their wires will go completely past the full length of my driveway and my house, ending at the pole next to my driveway.

This is unserviceable? Really?

A photo of a work in the air, moving line the full length of my house (past my house), and continuing down my street. A photo of a worker still pulling a line that starts at the pole next to my driveway, continues to go the full length of my driveway, continues to go the full length of my house, and continues to go down my street.

I can truly say, things are getting bad on Meta (Facebook).

You should consider leaving Meta if you are a minority, woman, LGBTQ+, trans, identify as progressive, politically, or if facts matter to you.

They're not going to get better.

#Meta #Facebook #Instagram #WhatsApp #Threads
Anyone who goes through my post history, knows I work for Meta (Facebook). I am "Consumer Content Administrative Manager". My primary duties include content appeals, account appeals, account reviews, and some peer review. It is no surprise that my job depends on people using Facebook. Today, I am going to suggest, you not do so. I can make that suggestion because we have a user base of billions, and I know most people would keep using Facebook even if the Devil ran the company. People are strange. But if you feel you can truly live without Facebook, do so. Internally, things are changing, and not for the better. You should especially consider leaving Meta if you are a minority, woman, LGBTQ+, trans, or identify as progressive, politically. If facts matter to you, and misinformation is something you do not want to be subject toward, you should especially consider leaving, Facebook. You have no privacy from Meta, while using Meta. None. I do not care if you believe you disabled a "feature" or "opt out" of something. You only seem to have done so. And even if you're going to continue to use Meta, uninstall the app (all of them). We collect data on you, even when you're not using the app.

Go Net Speed (spelled as 1 word, GoNetSpeed), has been telling me they're "coming soon" since sometimes last year (2024). They even took my order, saying service was going to be built out here.

I am upset, because I was one of the people who visited Town Hall and spoke up saying, Fiber Optic would be great for our community, compared to Spectrum Charter Communications or T-Mobile Home Internet.

3 of 2 (Bonus).

Attached is one of their many e-mail thanking me for my order and telling me it is still "coming soon". I also saved the screenshot of the order too (also attached).

Go Net Speed has done a flip-flop. After accepting my order and, for almost a year, telling me it was "coming soon" and sending me emails and post mail telling me how great the service will be, reports it may not be coming.

A screenshot (1 of 2) of an e-mail from Go Net Speed confirming my pre-order for fiber optic internet with my order ID number. A screenshot (2 of 2) of an e-mail from Go Net Speed confirming my pre order for fiber optic internet, showing I ordered their largest plan available. A screenshot from their website, which has always said (read) it was coming soon, now says (reads) Go Net Speed is not building in my area.

With the rise of Blue Sky, especially with some "not so nice" Twitter users coming here, I would encourage everyone to enable two-step verification.

You will find this in your account settings: bsky.app/settings

Be sure you have a valid email.

#BlueSky #Security #OnlineSecurity #Account
The screenshot shows the settings that read: "Two-factor authentication. Require email code to log into your account."

Nope. You cannot seem to hashtag anything on Blue Sky, as shown in the screenshot.
