Because “when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time .”
Why are you assuming malice when this is probably just a mistake/oversight?

All I see here is a mistake. If that’s unforgivable to you then so be it.

If it wasn’t .ml I would not assume malice

Lol you’re on .world, what are you on about

As someone pointed out, as the admin of .ml is also the main lemmy developer, he could have obscured something like this way better in the code directly.

This issue here is very different to the xz backdoor.
The xz backdoor was well obfuscated, planned out, and inserted by another actor.This here is easy to notice, can reasonably be explained as a mistake, and can only benefit the og main devs of lemmy.
A “huh this is odd, also change yalls admin passwords” is appropriate here. Even if we got further indication it was malicious, it would still be far less crazy than the xz backdoor.

Both a strength and weakness of FOSS. There is also the solar winds hack for a proprietary analog in case anyone is curious.

Uh huh, just like how the instance/user block being horribly implemented to where it’s just a barely functional mute is just a (4 year) “oversight”

Because of the way Dessalines and Nutomic consistently act?
Watch. They won't apologize or admit wrongdoing here. They never do.

They did patch it just now.

I wonder what their answer for this will be in the coming days.

Everyone here will be ml banned for five months.

And nothing of value would be lost.

Just the normal entropy of things

They fixed it.
