Suboptimal ways to respond to a public security incident
(lemmy.stuart.fun)
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. ๐
I'm with you. I figured out through various comments that I should update my UI to
0.18.2-rc.1, and also run an update statement on my database to fix the modlog. Only after that did I find the matrix channel. Eventually I also found !lemmy_admin@lemmy.ml which is great, but the only thread there on this issue doesn't even mention updating the UI. I think if we can get to the point where critical information that admins need to know is consistently posted in one place, it'll make everybody's life easier. I don't think that's too much to ask.
