Although Lemmy's userbase is quite large,it still is small enough that I do often see the same people in comment sections. It feels though, that I should recognise more names, because I can only remember around 5 individual ones.

This is a security risk though, fyi, someone could pics together all the info and exploit it.

If everyone in my real life already knows what I'm like online and vice versa, what's to exploit?

[-] HaleHirsute@infosec.pub 3 points 3 months ago

They can exploit you , one example: “Firefly it’s me your (known family member) I’m stuck at school (known school, place of work, etc) but lost my phone, can you send $50 to (scammer address) to pay back this nice person helping me get home please?” is the weakest variation.

Joke's on them, I'm no good for money even when it's legit. 💸
