Why are people like Jesse Skinner
(@JesseSkinner) posting pointless messages asking readers to boost them, thereby polluting Mastodon, wasting energy and storage, and irritating people who want to read *interesting* texts?
It's not his first time BTW (see the second screenshot).
Am I the only one considering to unfollow people who boost trash, chainletters in particular?
They're called #ChainLetters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_letter
@mdione :
0) The domain name in your toot suggests that you're trying to DDoS Mastodon. Go away.
1) You've posted an http link. Even if that does not pose a big risk, it is stupid.
2) Your site is insufficiently secure: https://internet.nl/site/mastoddosnt.ddns.net/3044613/
3) The domain name sucks (https://www.google.com/search?q=%22scams%22+ddnd.net). My generic advice: do not visit ddns.net subdomains if asked for by people you do not personally know. Chances are huge that you'll run into a scam website.
4) Chain letters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_letter) have already been extensively researched.
Either you have criminal intents or you are not a *scientific* researcher.
Perhaps you should read about Samy Kamkar's story.
@ionica : you may want to unboost this junk.
