This issue is already quite widely publicized and quite frankly “we’re handling it and removing this” is a much more harmful response than I would hope to see. Especially as the admins of that instance have not yet upgraded the frontend version to apply the urgent fix.

It’s not like this was a confidential bug fix, this is a zero day being actively exploited. Please be more cooperative and open regarding these issues in your own administration if you’re hosting an instance. 🙏

    I’m not sure what to think about that instance. I saw some weird stuff in the mod protocol recently, if I remember correctly… Like some drama going on, etc.

      That’s disheartening to hear. Can you share any more detail? If we’ve got a mod causing drama somewhere I can take it up with our admins.

        Oh, it was just a couple days ago and I’m not 100% sure if it was that instance. I faintly remember something about a hated episode or entire series? I’m not sure. I’m not a trekkie. I just remember that it gave off powermod vibes to me and I saw that a couple times. Didn’t spend any more attention to that, though, because I live by the standard live and let live. As long as nobody on my instance reports anything, I’m not going to act in most cases.

          I’m guessing it was a different instance because we don’t have any powermods. (I actually didn’t realize Lemmy already has powermods, sheesh!) Most of us just mod one community on our instance and I don’t think any of us are modding on other instances.

          Regardless, I’ll keep an eye out for anything fishy.
