Damn, hackers are being really uncool towards lemmy.world. Hopefully some good can come from this and they can implement robust security systems that help protect Lemmy instances from these types of attacks.

I think a lot of us have been there before, it’s part of the learning process. Jimmy will find his way.
They may be gross, but so is having rotten corpses sitting in the open. By getting rid of those corpses they are doing us a solid, so turkey vultures are cool in my book. The only animal that’s profoundly not cool is mosquitos, they’re a worthless species.
Fully agreed. While it is morally positive to avoid especially unethical companies, ultimately it’s not possible in all cases. As long as you try to be moral in your day to day actions and you on some level push for things to be better, you’re not morally culpable for the failings of the current system.
Oh crap, I forgot which asklemmy I’m on, I’m a dumbass.
As much as any other app I’ve seen, but I would still recommend using unique credentials for Lemmy.
I’ll make sure to let you know if I see it anywhere.
All of the apps have you enter your credentials into their page because Lemmy doesn’t support OAuth2. I don’t think it’s fair to criticize Voyager for a problem that is currently inherent to all Lemmy apps.
You’re correct, but by maintaining distinct passwords with a password manager you make sure only the one account is compromised. 2FA also helps, you may have the username and password, but the 2FA code that you were given needs to be used immediately or else it will expire, and an expired 2FA code won’t allow you to successfully breach the account you’re trying to break into to.
That’s fair, but sometimes a malicious actor will attempt to covertly contribute code that introduces a security vulnerability.
Indeed, this is a real weak spot with Lemmy’s security. I honestly think we need to place more emphasis on implementing OAuth2, when I have the time I’ll have to take a look at that again to see if I’m able to.
Indeed. I’m certain they exist, but it’s a case of needing to research which organizations are reputable and respected for their certifications.
Fully agreed.
Indeed, right now we’re one of if not the largest questions community, even larger than !asklemmy@lemmy.ml, so there are more resources here than other places.
Currently, we’re being a little more lax with the support questions because of how new Lemmy is. Once the platform has matured a bit more, we’ll move to being more strict about enforcing our rules on support questions.
Edit: Ignore me, I’m a dumbass and forgot which instance I’m looking at.
If you are wanting to move into a more programming oriented career, then I would say that while a college degree is useful it is by no means required. One of the things that you could do is complete a certification course and then apply for an entry level position, you’ll take a pay cut but unfortunately that’s common when changing careers. What type of work are you currently hope to move into?
Threads is new but not novel. It’s essentially just Meta Twitter and is using Facebook and Instagram to give it automatic momentum.
Indeed, no one has heard anything yet. It’s very strange, I hope the VLemmy admin is ok.
That’s really cool. This is a good use-case example of Mastadon, the government can run its own official instance for announcements and information without impacting other instances
In all honesty, I can see your comments from lemm.ee. I wonder if lemmy.world is back up now.
