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.
Or one day a huge poster sells their account for a bunch of money and all the top posts across many communities become ads.
Hope we’re big enough to that to happen someday heh
Even if we verified with social security (govt. ID) numbers, there’d still be astroturfers. Even with IRL KYC (e.g. must be invited by an existing user who swears they met you in meatspace), there still would be. Ahhh!!! We decide where we’ll marry the love of our lives, the retirement community we’ll put grandma in, where we want to vacation or just share lunch based on online reviews/discourse. Badly wish we had a fix.
