I have done this accidentally a lot but if you make an error like this
This is a sentence.be happy about another sentence.
…at least in my lemmy client it automatically becomes a link.
I am not confident this is an issue but also I have noticed it and wanted to ask.
My point is couldn’t someone exploit that with a website that has a url matching a common grammatical error of this type?
You could put the chicken before the egg too by making a bunch of bot comments hat appear plausible except for errors like that and then actually launch the website right?
If I “accidentally” link to that hostile website by making a totally normal “grammatical error” how do you establish intent?
From a zoomed out database/admin level how do you quickly tell the difference between the two in bulk amounts of posts/comments you can’t possibly search all the way through by hand…?
You can’t, which is why basic IT safety includes things like not clicking random links just because they’re there.
