Just a small heads up; ive noticed a uptick in links spread on Reddit, 4chan and even here to collaborative playlist from youtube, spotify and similar with very non or very few followers. All coming from new accounts.

Its a common way to fish for your personal data. They will make a new list and post it in only certain posts/threads and wait for you to subscribe with your account.

An easy way to protect yourself is by setting your phone or pc to open links in a second browser where you are not logged into anything. Set it to delete cookies on exit.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

    I’ve been thinking about this for some time, embedding html in comments might be fun, but it doesn’t sound safe. Especially in communities where doxing could lead to really bad outcomes for some users.

    • A lot of HTML is definitely OK, but canvases and remote loading are murkier. If/when HTML is allowed again, this is something to consider, although we can still embed images even without HTML with ![](*url*); unless we only allow images hosted on lemmygrad.ml (and possibly some other trusted websites), we may just have to warn people that they should be using Tor or something similar if anonymity is important.
