aye, fair enough. Pardon my ignorance

stop giving an end date to your strikes for fuck sake

HOLY SHIT I LUCKED OUT LMAO, I ALMOST CLICKED ON THAT EARLIER

As I pointed out in the thread it was probably a few Lemmy users themselves that did it.

as someone who uses the app, extremely little effect from my experience, I didn’t notice something was wrong at all until people pointed it out due to how liftoff does the whole sidebar thing for the instance.

It’s still better to change your account password and clear your cache.

No I know that, I mean specifically he’s said to not dm him because ge probably won’t get to it.

I think people are forgetting that it’s somewhat obvious the hackers or whomever, I don’t really care honestly are Lemmy users considering they did this at night and got into the site so quickly to begin with, they’d have to have been familiar with it to get into it as fast as they did.

If anything everything should be fixed.

Here’s a relevant post that talked about this with @[email protected] I think is worth looking into for anyone curious what exactly happened.

please don’t visit the legal section of the website or anything confirmed compromised if anything.

I think the main developers are aware of either of them but I’m not sure, haven’t seen anyone site admin wise talk about this mess.

Probably. I had to re-login myself.

Also I am curious, what’s the easiest way to currently reach the admins in case this happens again somehow? Two of them on their account have been seemingly inactive for a month and as per your own statement you rarely check your notifications and dms. Is there a discord somewhere for it?

what steps are being taken to ensure it doesn’t happen again? was any personal data compromised for users?

fyi for anyone curious, they’ve targeted multiple other instances now

Looks like this thread is getting mass downvoted by bots btw

I seem to remember this coming up a lot where the users and other instance admins kept questioning the security of the site.

Lemmy in general or just world?

guy doesn’t respond to pings or messages, don’t bother lol

found awkwardtheturtle’s alt lol

The admins are very hands off when it comes to World so I personally doubt they’d make that big of a decision unless it’s something important like they’re discussing with the recent big android debate with that community.

the instance owners only real statement on it was just curious why people didn’t think it was a good idea, so I really doubt they came to a decision that quickly.
