[DISCUSSION] Ping to Active - What does this actually mean?
For those who don’t know what this is, I promise it is not a coincidence that the creator hopped online after you open their page. This is sometimes referred to as “Ping to Active”, where their page gets pinged when you open the page and immediately switches to active. Normally their “last seen” will never be more than 5 minutes.
My question is what is the actual process that makes this happen?
From my limited research, the only answer I can find is that keeping the page on a background tab while the desktop is on can cause this to happen.
What weight do you give this for determining how legitimate or not the page is going to be?
I view it as an “approach with caution if there are no other red flags”, but do you see it as a “never go”?
