if you see "me" messaging about joining a Telegram or buying crypto, please double check the Mastodon server they're on!
I'm only on hachyderm.io, and there's now someone trying to impersonate me on a different instance, asking people to join their telegram.
remember! you can double-check that my profile belongs to me by looking at the verified links in the bio section.
if you're not familiar with how those work, any time you see a green check on a link in someone's bio you can trust that they have control over that website or page.
@TTimo if you're just running the out-of-the-box software, you wouldn't be able to verify the links without having control over my domain.
i suppose someone could tweak the mastodon software to show falsified green links, though.
