    Wow. I doubted you so I checked it out. Pinned posts about federation with threads.net that redirect to lemon party. At least it’s some dumbass instead of a malicious actor that was trying to subtly mess with things.

    It’ll be good to shake all the low hanging security stuff out before election season really kicks off.

      I won’t check it out, but, wow, the last time I heard about lemon party maybe around 20 years ago.

      Made accounts on at least 5 instances when I first joined lemmy. Definitely good to have backup.

      Plus, when links send you to another instance (happens rather frequently), having an account prevents the blinding light mode flash.

        You can also install this userscript to automatically replace links to other instances to the local version on your main instance.

    Yeah… It’s my main instance. Logged in via the website and it redirects to some nasty NSFW stuff. Another reason I have accounts on different instances. Wonder if vlemmy.net might have also been the victim of whoever is attacking lemmy.world.

    Finally feeling like I’m back on the Wild West of the internet. Hope lemmy world gets un-lemon partied

    This just gave me the push I needed to get off of lemmy.world; I was alredy considering it anyway because I feel like it’s a little too big but now this was that final straw.

    It seems like the admin wanted lemmy.world to become “the” Lemmy and the biggest one, and of course that is bound to get it the most attention, which also makes it more susceptible to people that wanna hack it. Yeah… I’m done. Thank god for federation.

      I left Lemmy.world too and I can’t even log back in to my old account to close my subs on that instance on account of the hacking.

      That place is sus as fuck and I have strong reasons to think the admins of the place have been compromised. Centralizing people to one instance which defeats the point of federation, beig cagey and dodging the issue when users demanded they defederate from Threads, and then this.

      Long live federation and it giving people a choice
