Hello everyone! It's Jean aka thepoetjean.bsky.social!

My main account has been hacked and taken over my scammers! I'm working with @bsky.app @support.bsky.team @safety.bsky.app @pixelatedboat.bsky.social to get my account back! In the meantime, this is my backup account!

Thx for your support!

If I do manage to somehow get my old account back, then I will delete this backup
I’m using my alt account @authorcrk currently to post political stuff since I don’t do that on my main
Will see what these days hold and I’ll keep you updated
Again, be careful out there! Scams are complex thesedays

I went through and singlehandedly reblogged everything just in case my old account is lost forever. So that’s why all the follows and such all the sudden. I assure it’s me. I’m really heartbroken and tired and am trying to recover from all this.

Do not accept invites to discord from your DMs!

For everyone confused, yes this is really me. @authorcrk is me, too. My account was hacked and I was scammed. Then someone took over my account and tried to continue the chain of scamming and impersonating. They took over @thepoetjean account to scam me. So be aware this is happening and be careful

Whoever was at @thepoetjean has now suspended their account. They contacted me first about falsely reporting my account and then invited me to Discord. I should have sensed red flags by then because it seems scams are always on Discord

I just don’t like Discord. They can even see what you are doing on your phone screen! Well. I certainly learned something today. Scams are getting a lot more sophisticated. It was preying on my fear of being jailed and fined and they were also very personable and understanding.

I had someone attempt this scam with me yesterday (with your old account, which seems to be gone.)

I took screenshots of the conversation and reported it to the bluesky support team's email rather than go through discord like they wanted. Haven't heard back yet. I'm so sorry this happened to you!

Kind of like imitating customer service. And even saying things like they respect your privacy and that. Too bad my trauma survival instincts didn’t kick in lol I care too much about my Bsky account and the platform I have built up. I was so happy to have a place for my writing… a community…

Anyway. Just be wary, of course. The scammers also take you to PayPal (Xoom) and make it so the transaction is one-way and you can’t get a refund or even report it as scam and get your money back. Super slimy. I just locked my debit cards before, but this is impossible to combat.

And why prey on me? When my accounts are negative and they can see that? Lol I’m surprised they didn’t bounce the second they saw on the shared screen that I’m broke as heck. Try scamming some famous oligarchs. Then you’ll get more than some pennies someone needs to literally survive

Sigh. I’m tired. I’ll keep anyone updated if you’re interested. Please signal boost if possible
@bookspotlight.bsky.social

Well. I have been mercilously scammed, and I feel stupid. I lost my account. I hope I can get it back or else I’ll be really depressed. Everything’s been taken care of, and I did all my clean-up work. But now I’m just wallowing in depression and feeling stupid.

Everyone be on the look out for someone impersonating Matt Reeder or BlueSky support on Discord. Saying your account has fraud charges on it and that you need to buy your account back or else go to prison. Don’t be like me and get anxious at threats of jail and fines.

I contacted Blue Sky support and I hope I can get back in my account. In the meantime, just be wary and careful. Scammers are getting more sophisticated these days

Otaku, circa 1983 onward *kinda* fits in this list of terms that people who might be Autistic might otherwise be called and then having other people decades later wondering

"Where did all of these Autistic people suddenly come from" ...

But there is a lot of cultural context in the term.

sorry to get political, but if they wanted to protect kids, they would feed them. they would invest in their education. they would build more parks, more programs, and invest in their future.

if they wanted to protect kids, they would build a world meant for them.

Here's a brief snippet from the end of Chapter 1 in my Brumewalker Archives prequel novella. Lysander showcases the stubbornness that makes him such a talented scientist despite his inexperience at this point in his life.
