True that. If you look at posts on lemmy.world though, it's clear their users (which is like 50% of Lemmy) have zero clue they're defederated ATM, and probably many that don't know it's compromised.

They are still acting on it, seems.

I didn't want to say it, because I wanted to believe :(

That's fair. I shouldn't have said "replace reddit."

mastodon.world seems okay, but whos to say where the silos are between that and lemmy.world.

TBF modern browsers are remarkably secure from being a vector to pwn your computer these days.

EDIT: I don't endorse hanging out on a compromised lemmy.world. Focus on the implication for the bigger lemmyverse though. A hack coming through to you is unlikely.

All the bean memes are in danger! On a serious note, old-skool or not, it's a huge loss of trust in something the community-at-large is excited to see replace reddit.

I wouldn't assume reasons why or that it's fixed until that consensus has been more widely reached.

Caveat: Magazines, just like lemmy communities from other instances/servers are not there by default. Users or admins have to seek them out.

Don't. I think it was broken.
