Well, as long as Lemmy remains small enough, content swapping probably isn’t going to be a major issue. I think I’ve seen some posts about the data Lemmy collects. Isn’t there like a public history of upvotes, edits and all that?
A spoofed number only works going out, but if you respond, it would go to the real person instead (the same if you call the spoofed number back, you’d get the real person and not the spammer). Since this bot is responding to their replies, it can’t be a spoofed number.
Might want to mask that phone number.
It’s the bot’s number. Fuck em.
I understand, but keep in mind it could be an innocent user whose phone is taken over by malware, better be safe than sorry.
Nah, it’s a telephony number being used by spammers.
Good point. Done.
Oh, you can update the picture on Lemmy? Didn’t even occur to me, because I’m so used to the bad practices of Reddit.
All fun and games until we comment how wholesome something is, it swaps to goatse, and our comments get screenshotted & us doxxed.
That’d be a pretty targeted attack (and a good chance to find out who we know has a good sense of humor). Quite unlikely.
Could think of a sicko getting CSAM in the #1 spot on the front page if their initial upload was worthy of getting there…
Content swaps & edits always have some problems but I’ve definitely appreciated that feature.
We have logs right?? (i genuinely don’t know and am hoping we do)
Or one day a huge poster sells their account for a bunch of money and all the top posts across many communities become ads.

Y’all so wholesome
Or a spoofed number, it works with calls, I assume it also works with SMS?
