Recently, there’s been very evil people going around on Slack and trying to scam users.

A Dirty Scam

You guys are all very smart people, but you’re falling for these scams anyways.

Luckily, we’ve thought of a quick and easy solution. What is the solution? STOP USING SLACK. There’s literally no reason for any crypto company to still use Slack. This is true for both technical reasons and security reasons. Remember that Slack was originally created for internal teams, not for outside users. As a result, Slack does not have the same security measures built in as other messaging apps. Slack works fine (though not that great) when you fully trust everyone in it. However, when the Slack server is open to the public, people are able to easily send viruses and scam messages to everyone on the server.

So, what should you be using instead? At Aether United, we use Discord. Discord is great because it was originally built for gamers. The gaming community has been plagued by malicious actors since it’s beginning, so all the tools developed for this community are made to be secure. Discord has several great functions for safety that are very easy to use. We’ll be covering most of them here.
