  • Regular posters, which communities are you currently focusing on?

    Jump

  • I got started with [email protected], just 3 posts so far. I'd like to see askhistorians & askscience communities gaining more traction.

  • Perhaps, but pixelfed.social is said to be fine with the traffic as mentioned here. Did you try after some time? Were you able to get past it?

  • The apps are listed on the official website. The official app is in public beta, but I hope it gets a public release soon. You can follow @[email protected] on mastodon for updates. There are also 3rd party apps, but I haven't tried any.

  • Yes, but things can change. Stories of Mastodon and Lemmy are inspiring. When Reddit backslash happened, Lemmy was already there as a good alternative for people to switch to. So was the case of Mastodon with the Twitter exodus. It's good that we've Pixelfed, it may be just a matter of time.

  • Stories feature is there. But I haven't used it myself, so I can't tell more about it.

  • What are some notable scams in history that went unnoticed for so long?

  • Lesson for next time, use the text part of your post to define what you are asking or are interested in hearing.

    Right, I should've seen it coming. But as long as the discussions are healthy, instead of mudslinging, I'm kind of okay with it.

  • Oh yes, I've heard about this. Thanks for reminding.

    Adding more details for others:

    Founded in 2003 by then 19-year-old Elizabeth Holmes, Theranos raised more than US$700 million from venture capitalists and private investors, resulting in a $10 billion valuation at its peak in 2013 and 2014. The company claimed that it had devised blood tests that required very small amounts of blood and that could be performed rapidly and accurately, all using compact automated devices which the company had developed. These claims were later proven to be false.

  • Surprising that no one noticed the double prime symbol for inches instead of the single prime symbol for feet. The scammer was like "well, I didn't lie, you weren't careful enough and it's not my problem!".

  • Took a glimpse at the article and it seems they could've gone uncaught for longer if they were a little more careful with the dates!

  • You're free to have your own opinions. But please note that your tone is not helpful and you may be just doing what exactly you're speaking against. Let's keep the discussions civil and healthy instead of labelling people.

  • I am an atheist and I believe the world would be much better without religions. Having said that, I don't conisder it as a scam in itslef. Instead they must have been something evolved over the time due to our ignorance, fear and helplessness. The very same factors that still keep them going.

    But hell yeah, people are exploited in the name of religion. I'm from India, one of the largest so called democracies, currently under the governance of a fascist hindutva party that thrives on polarizing people in the name of religion.

    BTW I was actually looking for specific instances of scams carefully plotted by known people, companies or even countries instead of broad answers like religion.

  • I've heard that in such situations one can drop such docs, with address, in any postbox nearby and the postal worker will deliver them. I've never tried this myself & I don't know if people actually do that, but sounded like a good idea to me.

    Anyway, I understand that the underlying issue is more important and finding any immediate solution alone won't help. It's much more important to spread awareness about the importance of privacy.
