Damn, hackers are being really uncool towards lemmy.world. Hopefully some good can come from this and they can implement robust security systems that help protect Lemmy instances from these types of attacks.

Finally, we found Zuckerberg's true form.

Vibe check failed.

Sorry, the tomato's got to stay in the burger, it's part of the artistic process.

Thanks, now I know how to feel greasy and salty.

It's extremely common, but there are still a few sites left that won't force you to log in. YouTube is one such example, though of course it has its own problems too.

Oh yeah, I haven't visited Twitter since they added this. I have an account, I just can't be bothered to log in.

Fair enough. Honestly both of them are rather irrelevant to me because I don't use microblogging social media platforms, so I have no stake in the fight.

Absolutely. Sunaurus's communication and the friendliness of this instance is why I came here when VLemmy went down. I have nothing but praise for the way this instance is run and for its performance.

Welcome @Matt_Glan@lemm.ee and @Aris@lemm.ee. I may be new to this instance, but I have always held a high opinion of lemm.ee and am happy to see the admin team expand!

You're correct, but by maintaining distinct passwords with a password manager you make sure only the one account is compromised. 2FA also helps, you may have the username and password, but the 2FA code that you were given needs to be used immediately or else it will expire, and an expired 2FA code won't allow you to successfully breach the account you're trying to break into to.

Indeed, this is a real weak spot with Lemmy's security. I honestly think we need to place more emphasis on implementing OAuth2, when I have the time I'll have to take a look at that again to see if I'm able to.
