If you really don’t want to sign up for EhNow (which is Canadian), I added a screenshot with the info. EhNow link: https://ehnw.ca/e/s2xmHJqhTU6vvC0uHNFeZw

Edit: Alright people, here’s a new link. Don’t worry it’s not a phishing attack, it’s not spam, or whatever other horrific thing you’re assuming, you don’t have to go through the horror of creating a free account on a Canadian website, it’s all right here on Lemmy where you created a free account on a Canadian website. I am simply trying to spread the word about this protest. https://lemmy.ca/c/never51

    What you call paranoia is basic InfoSec 101 training that everybody in a company must learn. If the domain name of a link or an email address has any difference with what you expect, then its most likely a phishing attack.

    Also the fact that your account was just created yesterday is very suspicious. I would discourage everybody reading this to click on the links of this post.

        I post a screenshot of the details of the event. I post a link to this very website for the event instead of EhNow. And you’re still suspicious? of what?

        Just look up what EhNow is! Its a legit Canadian social media site. There’s nothing to be suspicious about. Good lord.

        I don’t know anything about an app redirect as I only use the internet on a desktop computer, but I am not understanding how that would be “suspect”

      the fact that your account was just created yesterday is very suspicious.

      Why?

      I’m new on the site and that makes me “suspicious?”

      Because I posted a link to a protest?

      What am I being suspected of, exactly?

      Not knowing about Lemmy before yesterday? Crime of the century.

      Also, this isn’t a work email, it’s an internet forum.

      I’m genuinely curious what is it that you’re so scared of? You think because I posted a link to a Canadian social media site that you’re not familiar with, it’s like a virus or something?

      C’mon man.

        Not posting any receipts for legitimacy and just complaining makes you look like a lazy scammer.

        If you were really trying to promote stuff, you would post something that shows engagement by legitimate and verifiable sources. You aren’t.
