IT securtity guide.
If registration asks you for:
1) Nickname
2) Password
it is mostly safe :tanya_bored:

If it asks for:
3) Name
4) Surname

It is an idiot trap :kekw:

If it asks for:
Telephone number
Address
photo

RUN YOU IDIOT :pepeFBIMonka:

@LukeAlmighty I guess the phone number thing is to weed out low-effort trolls, but if you're joining to fedpost...
@LukeAlmighty @pasture
that could just be some n'er do wells scraping the public site and calling it a leak

@meowski @pasture
Exactly my point.

The mainstream right goes from one honeypot to another, and they are always surprised, that the data-collection traps always turn out to be some kind of honeypot... :kekw:

@LukeAlmighty @pasture scraping public posts doesn't really meet the definition of a honeypot.

by that definition, FSE or any public instance could be called a honeypot.

we need more info about this supposed leak before calling it a honeypot, which it looks like for other reasons, just not sure about the nature of this so called leak

@meowski @pasture
Oh... When you said some n'er, I thought you mean glow in the darks...

Ok then. I see your point...
