For the best. Knowing that this hacking technique is a vulnerability with the Lemmy project as a whole, I think it's reasonable for instances to temporarily close while a fix is implemented.

Tough call, probably for the best. Hopefully it's resolved soon.

Does anyone have an article about the vulnerability itself?

[-] spiderplant@infosec.pub 5 points 1 year ago

Smart move. I'm surprised more instances aren't doing this.

I’m not on Beehaw, but it seems well run based on the decisions they make and who they let in.

They're very consistent and predictable in a very good way. I understand the desire to have a more permissive instance at the cost of dealing with some trolls, but I think beehaw does an excellent job of delivering a community that takes the health and safety of the community at large seriously
