⚠️ Scam alert: if anyone ever asks you to "temporarily change" the email address on your Mastodon account, DO NOT DO THIS.
There is currently a scammer posing as a server admin telling people to temporarily change their Mastodon account's email to an address supplied by the scammer. This is a scam, don't do it.
Real admins will NEVER ask you to do this.
You can see examples of this scam in the thread at ohai.social/@redsad/1157080301…
(Thanks @markwyner for the warning about this! 🙏 )

Remember how everyone got into baking their own bread during lockdowns? If you can feed yourself by turning flour, water, and yeast into bread like a grain alchemist, you can cultivate your own digital garden as well!
