RE: Be careful - New scam for phishing website uses fake comments with images
Thanks for the warning! This is one of the most helpful posts I've read in awhile. These scams are very frustrating and I've learned that it's best to never click a link regardless of who it's from, even your friends. I'm really hoping that a DM function is incorporated into Steemit, to help mitigate this problem. If one already exists, please let me know.
Thank you for your support and for your witness vote @mantishands, really appreciated!
The only way you can "DM someone" is to write a comment under one of his/her posts or do a micro-transfer with your message in the memo.
You're very welcome @arcange. I've seen the micro transfers and some personlized messages that way. But I don't really see myself wanting to advertise my personal communications with another user for all to see. I understand that the blockchain is designed that way, but some of my words and ideas are for me and my friends only. Maybe someone who's smarter than me will build an app on top of Steemit that will provide a solution...
You may encrypt the memo content using your memo key. Then only the sender and the recipient will be able to read it. But that's not really an easy way to share messages with a group of friends.
Yeh, that's one thing I do NOT like about Steemit.
Not user friendly at all, & yes you could move over to Discord, but not everyone uses Discord & why should we have to?
Thanks for your post btw.
