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 @AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world 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

Weird. I didn't remember seeing them on my end, might've been liftoff though.

Looks like this thread is getting mass downvoted by bots btw

That I know lmao

Yeah the admins have said they're hands off and all but one person managing the world community isn't active since ruud doesn't check his notifications.

Somewhat concerning tbh

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.

Pointing this out also but I fail to see how "speaking for the 19k" is an issue if anything when reddit actually had a subreddit dedicated to requesting dead subreddits and or ones that modteams couldn't physically get back onto the sub, and it was and is insanely successful with the admins allowing a shit ton of them per day to be swapped around and in a lot of cases people were blatantly more happy to swap them around.

I swear Lemmy is so weird about this imo, people told me making a LGBTQ community was a bad idea because "I could just go to another community in another instance that was the highest rated" and now everyone is saying

"Oh it's just two clicks, go to another instance!!!111 or create another one1111!!!!!! U shouldn't be on Lemmy if you don't want communities to randomly close down"

It's the exact same shit awkwardtheturtle pulled where they modded hundreds of subreddits and universally just made completely batshit insane reasons because "they felt like it"

The difference is, Snoo is arguing that no it's pretty insane to universally make the decision people have to move when they shouldn't have to move in the first place

Yeah, sure, it takes the click of a button but what next, exactly? If a mod later down the line acts out (which as a reminder you can't dethrone mods on Lemmy yet, it has to be the site admins.) the users are just supposed to again go and "welp time to go create my own version of Android, and then someone else is going to create his own version of Android, and then another community."

That doesn't make much sense lol, you people can't both use the argument "oh if you don't like it create your own" then when people do, bitch about people creating their own and "just go to the biggest one in another instance!"

then say with android "Go to the new one it's two clicks!!!!111" it's hypocritical and fucking stupid.

This'll be the last time I talk about this until an admin responds personally. No point in arguing the same point repeatedly.

Me too, fuck it not like I'm doing anything else tbh lol

"i think it's more that the mods involved do not want to fracture the Android community on purpose - "

them splitting off into another community totally isn't going to fracture the community and cause others to make a bunch of other communities. That's a poor argument.
