I am the dev of the radio app Transistor. I recently got a unfriendly spam email that seems to be written by an AI. The mail was somewhat tailor-made. It tried to pick up the app description and use it as basis for insults.
Anymay at first I just deleted it, because I really donāt care. Attention spent on this is wasted.
But then I thought: Maybe I should share the incident, because it is likely other devs received spam as well. The mail originated from f-droid-devs-bully@proton.me
If it is counter-productive - because: donāt feed em - to have a topic about this here in the forum, letās just discuss my post.
Nope. At least not me. But I can get your point. If you get something similar, please share here. Meanwhile if possible, kindly report and block on your end.
I did as well. Usually stuff like this goes straight to the trash, but this time I actually answered the mail. In response I got a human written response and apology, explaining that this was just a dumb joke and the AI sending the mail was āset to āhostile & meanā settings and craft a personalized email based on the app profileā.
