A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

I learned something new. I had a woman start DMing me out of the blue. It’s obviously the start of a scam, so I’m messing with the person. And then she types “Alaye” in the chat. I looked it up and it’s a word scammers use to identify each other. So if they say “Alaye,” and you say it back, it means “OK, we’re both scammers. We can stop wasting time and try to scam someone else.”

How crazy is that?

@LoganFive @mark @TwoClownsEating @TheBreadmonkey I feel like I should add this is an example that did the rounds on Reddit etc a while ago, though I wish it had been me who received it 😄

@TwoClownsEating
Hey, it made me LOL too and I'm not all that simple, let me tell you 😂 But I still have a bit of Laughing Tear in my left eye 😀

@alicemcalicepants @TheBreadmonkey @LoganFive The sad part is that there are people out there so addled that these messages work. We have no protections for them.
