That's a personal preference though. You don't have a need for a relay. There are more than a few people who want to run their own instance and at least browse all the things without having to subscribe to them. This is a news aggregator at the core after all.

I've been pondering trying to make one, but it's not going to be a cake-walk. The tool (that was a script) I wrote ruffled some feathers for it's potential to destroy the lemmyverse. While I don't believe that could happen. I'm still interested in something easier and more integrated.
The theory is simple and I am willing to take a stab at it, but there might be road blocks trying to make or incorporate changes to the actual lemmy code.
That, is actually kind of fascinating and may be important info for someone doing a follow-up investigation. If that was the bad actor phishing for moderation access, why would they need that, when they already had an admin account? If it was legit, then it's super sus. whoever this app developer was needs to have a little light shone on them.
TBF, at least you're doing something.
I was trying to by funny. :(
That makes more sense.
I think this carrying on without providing more information is reckless. Does an actual admin from this instance really know what happened or are you just taking a bunch of random commentary and speculation as gospel then telling the users "we're good."
So any comment or post?
We've changed our name to Israel. - The Admins.
True that. If you look at posts on lemmy.world though, it's clear their users (which is like 50% of Lemmy) have zero clue they're defederated ATM, and probably many that don't know it's compromised.
You're not misunderstanding. They just solve more than one issue, and create a few too.
