Learning to follow hashtags was a game changing moment for me on Mastodon. Went from not really using it at all to frequent user.

It’s all public information.

Admins are shown on the front page

Modlog shows even when an admin is added or removed.

Blocked instances are shown in the instances list.

The JWT exploit bypasses 2FA requirements. It basically steals your active session and allows a third party to use it.

Thanks for the work. As a heads up it appears most of the block instances are back however I believe explodingheads is still missing which you may want to confirm.

EDIT: it has been added back to the block list.

Yep. MichelleG admin was added back and posted an update but it doesnt appear that her account was fully secured so they are probably still accessing it via her account.

Admin account was compromised. Looks like they are working on it but it will take a bit to fix all the stupid that was done.

EDIT: Looks like things are starting to resolve.

EDIT 2: MichelleG account admin was restored and she posted and update but shortly after the changes happened again. Her account is likely still compromised with someone else accessing things via it.

EDIT 3: lemmy.world back online. MichelleG has again been removed as admin. Most things appear to have been cleaned up. Blocked instances still need to be fixed however.

Your user login only works on your instance. Any instance that is federated with your instance you can interact with through your instance. You cant interact with a different instance directly.

Which is why in the screenshots above You cant vote on the first one since that is interacting directly with lemmy.ml. However you can interact with the second because you are interacting with lemmy.ml through lemmy.world

Also you should be viewing content via lemmy.world not directly on Lemmy.ml. that’s how federation works.

As you can see here this is what you see if you are just on lemmy.ml

If you are on lemmy.world and viewing content you see:

That would be a bug on liftoff. Report it there instead of trying to make another account.

!liftoff@lemmy.world

From what I have seen so far not likely. Though it would be nice if users were given some type of warning when attempting to post/comment/reply to defederated instances.

No. The short story there was an inactive mod was top mod and came back just to make the whole sub private and got backlash from the most active mod about it. Admins ended up removing the inactive mod. There is additional back and forth between the two that got posted but it basically ends as the one actually doing the work gained full control.

My problem is they had the technology. We gotta build a new technology now.

Yea I mean I get it. It just sucks that this is the first real experience I am having with this system. Would have been nice to get a little more experience under my feet before having to deal with this. I suppose this should be expected. Lemmy is likely experiencing some extreme growing pains unlike anything it has seen before.

I totally understand that while this is an annoyance at the end of the day this is likely still a more desirable outcome then what is happening with Reddit. At least here that set of admins can only do so much damage to the overall system while the Reddit admins have total control over the whole system.

Gotta say this being one of my first impressions of lemmy… Its not great. Beehaw had a large tech and gaming section that I literally only just subbed too.
