The cybersecurity email tests I get at work are so transparent - Hi user, You have an unpaid invoice, please follow link to pay immediately.

I wish I could I could reply no I don't fuck off but I'd probably get in trouble lol

I can just see Oprah going, "and now you own it! And now you own it! And now you own it!"

Grew up in a moderately catholic home, had a strong sense of faith as a kid. Hormones took over as a teenager and resided to not knowing if God existed. Had a spiritual moment in my mid twenties (no, I won't go into online) became a pentecostal Christian. Put myself through the church wringer for a little over 10 years. Started deconstructing my faith and asking a lot of questions about what I believe and why a few years ago. I still have a strong faith in God but how I live that faith is very different to the last 15 years and is very different to what I consider "mainstream" Christianity. I'm so much happier not being in "church" and I feel free to accept myself and others more than I ever had. Still working on myself though. So yes, I still consider myself a Christian but had to spit out a lot of bullshit taught over the years.

This sounds like an idea from someone who wants to justify their job.

Holy shit, what kind of pirated material are you hiding? :P

I thought Lemmy was just reinforcing that I should have accomplished more by now 😂

yep, this is happening quite a lot for me

Most of em aren't even worth that

I already feel less lonely just thinking about it.

I hope FMHY comes back. Didn't realise how much I liked it until it was gone.

and still better than using official Reddit app (and still better than Reddit overall) lol

OK sure. I was somewhat sure it was an attack on Lemmy.World and not something on my end. Still not good, stay safe Lemmy! Good job on the admins for their quick actions.

So would monetising user data be a more accurate statement than data privacy?

38 year old moderately tech savvy person here, much more hardware savvy than software if that makes sense? When the whole reddit thing exploded, I concluded that I was pretty much going to stop using reddit once Boost stopped working. Then I saw someone mention Lemmy in a comment so I searched it up and here I am. I didn't know there was a reddit alternative, or a Twitter, instagram or YouTube (decentralised) alternative. Just finding out all this now. I didn't even think of centralised VS decentralised until the last few days, this is all new to me and still wrapping my head around the whole federation concept, particularly with the Meta etc. I feel like I need an ELI5 on that concept but I'm still yet to search and find if an ELI5 community exists here lol

But I think it makes sense that the demographic might be older. I don't want to shoehorn any age group into one large generalisation but I'd dare assume that under 30-40s are happy to be where their peers are? And to be clear, I'm not an instagram/twitter/tiktok user. And I only use Facebook for a side business I ran and it's marketplace.

People do this on Lemmy as well? :P

I'm not looking to be the same. I'm not looking to be anything. Just discovering (and so far) enjoying the alternative I wish I knew about a long time ago. Thanks for the warm welcome! /s
