mine is just full of memes which I can't find any other active communities tbh

If the Lemmy admins sides with people like zuck, which they shouldn't because they're literal communists I'm going to laugh so hard, internet would pretty much be fucked lol

what steps are being taken to ensure it doesn't happen again? was any personal data compromised for users?

Oh that's fucked up, that means really fucking old videos on YouTube could be lost.

As I pointed out in the thread it was probably a few Lemmy users themselves that did it.

aye, fair enough. Pardon my ignorance

the big difference is Lemmy and other sites got popular now as a result of people finally realizing "wow the modernized internet is pretty much complete dogshit"

the only thing that's been basically different is people trying and rather unsuccessfully to create an alternative to the bigger sites. 9/10 most of them have failed, but with Lemmy considering how much and how dedicated the userbase has been so far.

My point was mostly "if Lemmy can be bought out" (which I really doubt) "then the internet is just blatantly fucked and there's not anywhere to go period."

Lemmy, which I'm currently using through liftoff seems like the best solution and has a rather dedicated userbase in general. I'm excited to be here but there's always the worry something could go wrong with it

stop giving an end date to your strikes for fuck sake

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?

Ye, they made an announcement recently they fixed a bunch of shit

thank god

♥️

Looks like this thread is getting mass downvoted by bots btw

They work I think but they don't work on mobile at all

I wonder if I have some of the highest score besides the admins

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.

you don't have to put hashtags lol this isn't Twitter

I think I'd rather shoot myself than ever believe in capitalism

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.

found awkwardtheturtle's alt lol

on world at least the top is 2.7k

Holy shit this is about to be the top post for the instance, welcome, everyone who's new!!! be sure to check the Communities page for World.

Figured out it was just a random error, on a funnier note for whatever reason the dead tldr bot was banned from world news lol

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.

Mostly because Jerboa is relatively easy to use plus with the apparent 9 different apps in development now lol

Beautiful scenery

#liftoffgang!

Only thing is they broke Jerboa with the new website update lol

When in doubt, look up a YouTube guide.

I hope the next update supposedly coming tomorrow isn't going to just break everything lol

What's up with the passive agressiveness of this post? People on mobile usually prefer browsing stuff on their phone is the point lol

as someone who uses the app, extremely little effect from my experience, I didn't notice something was wrong at all until people pointed it out due to how liftoff does the whole sidebar thing for the instance.

It's still better to change your account password and clear your cache.

fyi for anyone curious, they've targeted multiple other instances now

HOLY SHIT I LUCKED OUT LMAO, I ALMOST CLICKED ON THAT EARLIER

Probably. I had to re-login myself.

Lemmy in general or just world?

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.

Holy shit I'm on the hot section lmao

nice try FBI

I can understand that instead of the others commenting, but I don't really agree with the idea of them arbitrarily deciding they can do whatever they want with the community and punish the users who weren't aware of that and don't want to move and or check to another place.

Seems a bit barbaric and awkwardtheturtle esk imo to just do a bunch of stuff without asking the community if they'd like to switch, they just decided "no we're going to close and you're gonna like it" essentially lol
