Watching every platform ruin itself to become a facsimile of every other platform is deeply infuriating and exhausting

There are literally multiple of us! We cannot be stopped!

You can't quit because you're fired!!!

God damn this is a powerhouse of a meme

I don't believe FMHY was affected. For me, the timeline went:

1. I found out about the hack pretty much immediately when it happened
2. I immediately hopped into the Lemmy dev matrix channels to get an idea of what was going on
3. I crossposted the news of the hack in !technology@lemmy.fmhy.ml about 20 or 30 minutes after it happened
4. In the dev channels, right around when I made the post, a couple of users were able to pin down the exact vulnerability and which server the user that perpetrated it originated from. A user (that I won't name) sent test instructions (that were quickly deleted and I will not share on the off chance that there are servers that don't know about the vuln and haven't patched or mitigated) that verified the vulnerability.
5. A pull request for the fix was submitted to github (and, from a cursory look at the PR, it closes the hole that was used for the hack solidly) while, simultaneously, a couple of other devs stated that 0.18.1 is not affected by the vulnerability (which I have not taken the time to verify since they've already PRed a patch)

For those reasons, I don't think FMHY was ever at risk because of how quickly it was updated to 0.18.1 coupled with the fact that I don't think custom emojis are a thing on here. It's very possible that I am wrong about that because I'm an idiot but I don't believe there's anything to worry about.

"First they came for the hot singles in my area and I said nothing. Now, as they try to take my hot new deals, I must legislate"

I haven't and, now that you've said this, I don't plan on it

This translates to "I do not have anything impressive to say off the top of my head and I'm panicking now"

Ubuntu Server (Or really just Ubuntu) is probably going to be the easiest in terms of package support, general support, and usability. It's pretty straightforward and there's infinite tutorials for everything you could possibly want to do

No question, I just want to thank you for being the type of person that would do this and thank you again for actually doing it. The world is a fun place. I like it.
