Transcription (of iMessage exchange): “Hi, is this Paul?
Who is this
This is Erica from the dentist’s office. I got your number from your file
Pretty sure this violates Hippo but shoot your shot I guess
I’m not flirting with you. We have you on video stealing thousands of dollars of x-ray equipment”
Alright, I’ll be that guy… Hippo…
My guess is they tried to write “hippa” and it autocorrected, because it’s “HIPAA”
There are a few things I miss about reddit, like the HIPAA bot.
Beep boop. I am¹ a Lemmy bot. It looks like you started writing the name of a magical,¹ friendly¹ animal who salutes people by flinging feces. Did you mean to refer to “hippopotamus”?
Whoa apparently you left this comment 6 days ago but it just showed up in my inbox today. I check my inbox every day and your comment did not appear until 6 days after you left it. Federation weird(?)
I’mma go stalk your profile now to get evidence that you’re not really a bot, just a clever fun Lemmyer.
Lolol. My instance periodically stops pushing content. Then it plays catch up.
Boop beep.
He meant to say HIPAA. In sort, series a laws for patient protections which include looking at a patient’s record to get their phone number for personal reason.
Yeah, it’s funny and nobody had mentioned it, so I did ;)
DiD YoU jUst AsSume ThEir IdeNtity?
/s (you probably meant she*)
The chatter identified as “Paul” said “Hippo”. I don’t think the person above you made a bad assumption.
