What are the cybersecurity weaknesses of the Fediverse?

Most of us are Reddit refugees, and probably clicking more random links than we ever did before on websites we’ve never seen before. This whole experience feels like the old internet, but also throws up insane red flags with a modern internet perspective. What are the cybersecurity weaknesses we should all be looking for, and...

If you’re navigating to another community on their instance, you won’t be logged in. When you’re seeing that, check the URL. If you’re on lemmy.ml, you’re still on your instance; if not, you’ve navigated to that instance.

There’s multiple ways to structure links, some of which will take you to that community via your instance, some not.

Could it be phishing? Sure. But far more likely, you’re just on another instance where you don’t have an account (or at least an active login).

None of my business, but maybe you should focus on what’s causing you to fail in school first. I get that it’s the summer, now, and there’s no classes, but if there’s certain subjects you’re falling behind in, there’s resources online to get caught up in those subjects before the fall. What’s your situation? Maybe I can offer some advice.

You could hold a yard sale and try to sell your stuff, but you should talk to your parents first, because… they might not appreciate that.

Depending on how old you are, there might be businesses offering part time work over the summer. What the age limit for that is, and what additional requirements there are, will vary based on where you live.

Do you have any potentially marketable skills? For example, web development for small businesses is something you could potentially offer that would pay better than yard work and generally be less tiring.

a little more expensive

This is a gross understatement. Companies usually pay 50% or more of the insurance their employees get.

I’d give my kid a gun and tell him to collect and feel no regret about it. Fuck it, I’m dead anyway, might as well leave a legacy.

At least he’d be able to afford really good therapists.

If you go to the lemmynsfw instance and just pre-emptively block all of the communities, it mostly disappears. Folks are (at least on my feed) being pretty good about keeping it all there.

I used to work in CS for a cell phone provider. The most memorable call I had from that experience was a woman who spent over an hour yelling at me because her daughter had ordered a $1200 phone upgrade without permission. She was absolutely sure that it was illegal for us to charge her for that, because her daughter was not authorized to use her card, and because her daughter was under 18.

She didn’t want to return the phone, because she didn’t want her daughter to hate her. She just didn’t want us to charge her for it.
