Living his best life

Just like to warn everyone of this account, which has a ton of fandom-related posts and follows and thus seemed legit enough to me to reply to the message

Pro tip: if @boyishflame DMs you, just ignore and/or block. Might be a normal account that's been hacked/hi-jacked by scammers, might be a straight-up scammer account, idk. Either way, not trustworthy.

(And if you don't know what this is about, "I accidentally reported your account in error" is an increasingly common scam. If I understand correctly, they tell you to go to some page or other to, like, get your account un-reported or whatever, and then you're tricked into revealing your login details and they steal your account. So. Don't do this)

It may not even be the same account. I got a similar message. Not realizing it was a scam, I kept trying to reassure the person. "My account seems fine. Haha, reported the fishey_me account for phishing, how silly. I'm sure I would have heard from Tumblr by now."

So the person tried to escalate. "I told all of my friends to report you too."

I see now that they were trying to get me to panic. My response of "Well, I kind of understand your zealotry, but maybe next time, don't try to start a dogpile." was probably not what the person wanted to see.

Fortunately, I mentioned this weird interaction on a discord server with some friends, and they told me that the scam was that this person would try to direct me to a discord server to reset my credentials for Tumblr. Fortunately they hadn't gotten that far, so I just reported and blocked the messages.

So always remember: if someone is trying to create urgency for you, especially if they want you to think you or someone you care about were in trouble, and then they ask you to go to a secondary location, don't go.

Tumblr will not have you use Discord or any other third party to appeal your account anyway. And if they "email" you, triple check where the email is coming from.

Thanks to my friends in @goodomensafterdark for telling me about the scam.

Had one of these just the other day with the new attempted "I told some of my friends to report you too" escalation. Just said "Oh dear, another of you poor deluded fools..." and blocked & reported them.

(sigh) Dingbats.

#amnesia feels like a subcategory of hurt/comfort tbh #in other words i may misunderstand some tropes #choosing reincarnation over character death is weak and I admit it i am weak!#there are very specifically situations that I would enjoy in the unchosen options but i feel they are against the tropes and the spirit of #for example long distance correspondence is okay if the correspondence a) long-form smut or b) sense8ish telepathy #love at first sight i can get behind if they slowly find out they actually hate eachother

a lot of the moralizing against revolutionary violence makes absolutely zero sense when you acknowledge that revolutions don't happen because some people think violence is a generally good tool of solving problems, but because the mass of the population is pushed past its breaking point by the conditions imposed upon it by the system the ruling class is using violence to enforce
