More hacking email on PD:

To all members when you receive an email something similar to this one, trash it and block the sender! Be careful out there, you are running your own business, hackers are targeting you. You may think this is good for you. Trust me, you lose more than you think.

Switter members, highly appreciate the cooperative action taken by this community as scammer accounts being reported as fraudalent are being removed by A4 (although some are still here). Be vigilant & keep reporting & blocking.
Couple of tips:
They are new accounts created in this pandemic year of 2020 (although some dates back prior years).
They do not have Tryst accounts. Switter validates Tryst members (at least, not perfect as some gets thru but gets deleted later).

We need more of this:

I like the new ability to be able to delete and repost your edited toots 👍. One caveat, just don't take too long to do option. This allows you to correct your typos and that pesky auto correct. Again be mindful of the caveat as this will break links in responses to your toots.

This post is more for followers as I have done this myself, not purposely but because of settings in my account. Unfollowing an account is normally not an issue but sometimes your fingers can mistakenly wonder over the unfollow button & if you really didn't want to, you can always click the follow button again. However, if the account you were following is locked 🔒, then it may take some time for you to regain the ability to follow as the member has to approve you to be able to follow. (more...)
