Just a small heads up; ive noticed a uptick in links spread on Reddit, 4chan and even here to collaborative playlist from youtube, spotify and similar with very non or very few followers. All coming from new accounts.

Its a common way to fish for your personal data. They will make a new list and post it in only certain posts/threads and wait for you to subscribe with your account.

An easy way to protect yourself is by setting your phone or pc to open links in a second browser where you are not logged into anything. Set it to delete cookies on exit.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

      I agree, maybe even in the form of a more elaborate post on the basics of internet privacy, annonymity and protecting data. Anticommunists have already attacked this community with DDoS and spam accounts, it is reasonable to assume that they’ll also take any chance to dox members. We need to keep informed and practice good data hygiene.
