Beware
Not the greatest title
- lmao, it's due to how it handles the mastodon federation

I've got to give you a down vote for not putting the important information in the title and then using an obnoxious amount of caution signs.
This is up there with "13 things you need to know" in terms of click bait.

  Ah, it's mastodon federation... I missed that, it explains a lot. Honestly I've found that majorly unsatisfactory. It's "neat" that they can talk to each other but the software is just for two fundamentally different social networking softwares.

Is this about this:

@kdenlive @kde Probably an anticampaign by Adobe.

Sadly i don't think the misspelled "through" is helping the credibility of this warning
- Usually a poor grammar is a bad sign when the email/message is asking you to give them something.
  But here the official account (which could have been hacked, I get it) is just trying to warn us about scams.
  P.S: they fixed the grammar, all should be good now
  
  I'm aware this is official, I just wanted to point it out. The warning is a good thing, no question, but it may not seem legit
