Comment on Are there any updates on the ongoing federation delays with lemmy.world?
unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone 5 weeks agoThanks, I’ve done that now, kind of thought it might be a bit annoying. I’m in two minds over unpinning the tax scam one, on the one hand it’s basically as old as the community and on the other it’s somewhat useful info

I reckon you should keep it until someone writes a new one. I might write a more general one after tax time
Personally I’m not sure it’s that useful, my assumption is that given the more technical nature of most lemmings, it’s probably pointless. But that’s probably a bad way of thinking, since anybody can (and have!) been scammed before, and even though some people are harder to scam, everybody has their weaknesses

Yeah that would be good. Perhaps we might replace it with a more general thread about scams and encourage people to share scams they’ve come across, maybe refresh it every year. That way we can all be a bit more aware of specific examples of ongoing scams - even if the average Lemmy user might not fall for them it’s likely they know someone who will. The only fear I guess with the megathread format is it will disappear as it becomes inactive (in people’s feeds at least), so maybe a separate community is in order
