I agree with this entirely.

I do not believe that the Fediverse is an exclusively anti-corporate platform. It's nature is open to all, even corporations, at a technical level.
Granted, many anti-corporate people came here, but that doesn't make this a fundamently anti-corporate place. Just their specific communities.
I also doubt many serious Fediverse types are that petty and childish. That's generally a trait of more short-sighted people. Not a lot of native trolls here, we came here in many cases to escape that behavior.
Is it so strange to think some assholes might just chase us down and bring it to us? What would you do if you were a hate-fueled asshole that wanted to watch the world burn? I'd find nice things and fuck them up, personally. That would be both fun and potentially effective.
LLMs. Despite how absurdly useful they are, I can recall a time when I had the skills of remembering phone numbers naturally and being able to easily navigate with no maps of any kind.
These skills have deteriorated significantly in the past 10 years, and they're not the only ones. The common thread they all have is my smartphone replaced them.
I fear losing a skill that is less innocuous, from the new tech effectively replacing my need to practice it.
We're having fun and trying to build a positive space. And we have real potential to succeed in growing large. Can you think of a single faster way to attract trolling on the internet?
It's a lot more likely than someone like spez taking a break from plundering his company to piss off a modest number of internet randos in some internet corner somewhere, which would barely be a drop in the bucket of his problem anyway.
The overall effect of this is so small, it almost has to be someone(s) with too much time on their hands. If they had any kind of real power, they wouldn't be wasting their time on these chump change attacks.
Not sure, but lemmy.world is experiencing a sudden and massive slowdown atm, starting about 15 minutes ago. Mostly 504 and now 502 errors.
It's a significant XSS vulnerability in lemmy.
XSS vulnerability on the sidebar. There's some threads starting to pop up about it.
Lemmy has an XSS vulnerability in the sidebar. There's a few threads starting to spring up on it. May want to alert your admins if they haven't been yet.
I can still hear the theme song...
Huh... so this probably is more sophisticated than a single acct breach then. Lovely.
This'll definitely be remembered. It's good for us, we needed the wakeup call.
No, I don't think the brain really works that way, except in the very broadest sense.
