Back From Hiatus
I took down my blog because, for a brief time, I was trying live scambaiting on Twitch and I wanted to be extra careful about privacy. But I'm not doing that anymore and there are some things I have been wanting to write about. So the blog is back!
Scambaiting is where people call known scam numbers (like tech support or lottery scammers) posing as potential victims to try to waste their time and potentially get them to share info that can be used to report them to the authorities or shut them down. It's a lot of comedy and improv. Kitboga was the first scambaiter I discovered and still one of my favorites.
I had fun with the handful of streams I did, but it was also extremely stressful for me, to the point where I was having a lot of anxiety and it was affecting my physical health. I stopped scambaiting. But I wasn't ready to start blogging again until now.
A couple people on the Fediverse actually told me they missed my blog, which was both surprising to me and encouraging. Maybe I'm not just sending text into the void.
I hope to post some things in the coming weeks, if only for posterity and for me to refer back to and remember.
