mine is just full of memes which I can’t find any other active communities tbh

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.

https://sh.itjust.works/post/923025

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

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

I can understand that instead of the others commenting, but I don’t really agree with the idea of them arbitrarily deciding they can do whatever they want with the community and punish the users who weren’t aware of that and don’t want to move and or check to another place.

Seems a bit barbaric and awkwardtheturtle esk imo to just do a bunch of stuff without asking the community if they’d like to switch, they just decided “no we’re going to close and you’re gonna like it” essentially lol

“I don’t get why are you so upset. It’s not a big deal.”

first off I’m not? I’m just confused why the entire modteam just refused to get everyone’s input and did what they wanted anyway which is why people left reddit in the first place.

Second, it’s not convenient to just close a community without anyone’s knowledge and punish the users who don’t want to move so suddenly.

“we’re keen to avoid unnecessary fragmentation for existing members and confusion for any newcomers.”

ah yes because locking the entire community without anyone’s knowledge and consent first isn’t totally insane and like a certain other platform we left from

Thank god, wasn’t able to use the site lol
