Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

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. πŸ™

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.
