aye, fair enough. Pardon my ignorance

stop giving an end date to your strikes for fuck sake

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

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

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.

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?

"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.

@AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world if you’re interested we could just make a new community if the old one isn’t going to be opened, I’d be down to mod it.

I made a post asking about this too because it seemed a bit insanely barbaric to punish the active users who don’t want to just move to another instance and solely want to use world.

" “we’re keen to avoid unnecessary fragmentation for existing members and confusion for any newcomers.”

ah yes because locking the entire community without anyone’s knowledge and consent first isn’t totally insane and like another certain platform we all left from."

Said post was also brigaded heavily so I deleted it since I got a lot of insanely nasty messages and snarky replies.

Honestly this just seems like people want another repeat of awkwardtheturtle I’m Gonna be real lmao

Thank god, wasn’t able to use the site lol

thank god
