I get stuff from the American Humanist Assoc. but I'm a dues paying member. I'm a;ways skeptical of things I don't quite recognise and unless this is from a recognised & legit Humanist organization don't mess with them.

I found out where it came from. I'm good now.

No, but I can't get these fucks who have a slew of similar numbers to stop calling my cell phone. I keep blocking them, but they keep calling from different numbers.

I broke down and activated Verizon's spam filtering thingie. Works decently enough.

@1of5 Verizon has a spam filter? I use a free app to block calls and it works really well. Please tell me Verizon isn't charging you for this spam filter.

I only use my phone for calls, texting and an occasional pic here and there. No internet use for anything. I value my privacy.

I get e-mails from TheHumanist.com

No, I’ve never received anything from either site(besides the usual message update from agnostic).
I’ve turned off the ability for my profile to be seen on humanist.

You can log onto humanist.com using your agnostic.com username and password. Yes, it really is that useless of a distinction.

@LetzGetReal literally the only thing it changes is the url on the feed. Oh, and you can't see posts or profiles from people with that toggled off - which, depending on how you feel about them can be a benefit. I found it annoying because you still get alerts from them.

They saw overlap and tried to expand the site. Not everything works as planned, especially around here 😁

It's just a different portal to the same place. I'm sure it has the exact same security as the agnostic portal does, although depending on site hardware/software configuration/layout it may be more vulnerable to a simultaneous attack. I'd bet the site is already being mined. Hell, everything's public so just a copy paste, moderately sophisticated bot could pull up everything profile by profile and pop it into their own DB for analysis. I've always assumed someone's using this place to collect data.

Josh is correct it’s all technically the same site as this one, just a different domain/front end/branding
