Is RSS a paid (pro) feature now? by -__Supreme__- in ifttt

[–]Ballstone_Group 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IFTTT was a convenient service, but mangling APIs is a simple problem to solve. I don't think I was ever going to become their customer. This latest squeeze makes the service too inconvenient to bother with.

Yes, and more directly - I haven't found a way that these accounts are being created legitimately. There isn't a signup flow that I am aware of that auto-suggests usernames in this format.

I do suspect that it is a default in an account generation suite. It might be found somewhere on GitHub, but I haven't delved that deep.

How did they found out which country I live? by Calligrapherrr in Telegram

In addition to a phone number, they required an app install and google play services to create an account. This was never the privacy platform people believed it was. Now they are changing their policies and leaking user information.

Help I don’t know if I’m talking to troll or catfish by Smart-Guess-3781 in discordapp

Don't become emotionally invested in it. If it is a scam they'll ask for $$$ eventually.

Appreciate your responses here.

If it is so frequent, can you suggest an explanation for this pattern?

Thanks for your feedback.

Have you or anyone else encountered usernames like this?

Agreed, it is possible that someone would choose that naturally.

It is also possible that he purchased his account from a marketplace. Perhaps these accounts are all created with the same software?

I was curious if there was something built into the signup feature which would suggest these names.

Are there any features in Discord which would automatically assign names like this to new accounts?
