Lemmy.world (and some others) were hacked

How do we know that this isn't a fake announcement as well, trying to give us a sense of security???

Just kidding, thanks for letting us know! Thank god I haven't been too active the last few days! Can't afford my credentials being leaked, maybe I should be proactive and change my password anyways.

PSA: the largest piracy community is blocked from lemmy.world

Reply in thread

I don't think there's anything set in stone, really. Or if it is it was Tl;Dr for me.

But in the past we used to vote (with upvotes/downvotes and or opinions in form of comments) on decisions or at least some instances/communities did/do it like that.

I don't know about any vote having been done on this decision though since I'm pretty sure if there was this decision wouldn't have been made.

Though from the view of the Admin I can definitely understand blocking piracy communities, because if someone uploaded copyright infringing content on any instance, every instance that federates with it would get into major trouble for (1) cloning such content and (2) making it available to more users. Kind of like torrenting without the P2P aspect.

Kbin.social upgrade

From what I've seen, when it went back up for a few minutes, they changed the interface, the thumbnails were on the left side and it now shows your profile picture next to your username in the upper right. Those were the more obvious changes, of course.

I don't know if those changes stay permanent but it looked really nice! (That's just as an FYI for everyone who didn't see the site go back up)
