I expect that paywall to be fully useless soon.

That's a really silly take ... a Paywall is just an authorization mechanism.

That's like saying the source code of lemmy leaks and you expect your account to be compromised any second.

I can sell you a copy of lemmys source code, are you interested?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I'll sell it for cheaper!

I can give you 25 schmeckles.

Well, the open source code is less likely to commit "security through obscurity" than closed one.
