Unsurprisingly, some folks on raddle and reddit seem to have a big problem with lemmy. A lot of it is pure FUD.

However, this appears to be a valid security concern:

Any thoughts on how fixable this is?

Of course the general consensus on reddit is "lemmy devs are clueless and dangerous". I'm pretty sure a lot of it is one guy with multiple alt accounts, tho. He has a Joe McCarthy attitude about lemmy because of one of the primary devs.

Lol. FUD predates the internet.

Someone else linked the wikipedia entry. First coined as an acronym when IBM was protecting its mainframe from competition by Amdahl butthre phrase goes back to the 20s
