PSA: there's a new spam campaign hitting fedi, this one claims to be raising money for insulin and usually has a banner saying "black lives matter" or another progressive slogan.
You can recognize it in the usual ways:
- Brand-new accounts doing nothing but ask for money.
- Cold-messaging strangers with personal requests for a boost or donation.
- Identical or near-identical accounts appearing all over fedi, primarily on open-registration instances.
If you see these accounts or get pinged by them, don't panic! Just report the profile and let your moderators handle it. The image below is an example of what to look out for.
