️ 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 https://ohai.social/@redsad/115708030185038699
(Thanks @markwyner@mas.to for the warning about this! 🙏

That is such an obviously bad idea that I wouldn't do it regardless of whether the person asking was a real admin or not.
