That must be a huge battery killer.

Go-dAmn Sachs is wrong often, but in this I think they're on point. Learned from the Crypto insanity.

And so enshrined is that final nail in the enshitiffication coffin that was Reddit. I give it 3mo before Spez leaves Reddit to focus on [whatever].

Well that's certainly a war crime. Wonder if the rest of the world will look the other way on this too.

I think that question is definitely a worthy cause, but entirely misplaced. As others said, they donated to Beehaw not to some other foundation or charity. Rainy day fund is better than an oh shit, we're broke moment. I am extremely grateful to those who have and continue to donate towards Beehaw's Cause. We need to make sure that money is used, when needed, as expected.

Let it ride.

Good to see them working on the important issues affecting Android auto.

What?

Hey man why you talking bout me....

J/K. Thank you for the kind words. I really am happy to be able to help out here for a lot of reasons. I understand the risk, heavily, but I appreciate the trust you and the other admins have placed in me. I hoped I have shown it to be a correct decision. I want to do my best for Beehaw and what is the best. I won't say everything I do is right or the correct thing, but I normally have a reason for it.

Thank you kindly; genuinely happy to help and want to keep doing so.

Done.

We were not hacked. The site was taken down preemptively for security measures. Are we ok? Yet to be determined fully.

Incident response on the available systems and data, show attempted XSS comments sourced from federated instances; none on Beehaw itself. Those were deleted from our Beehaw database. Additional security measures put in place to try and mitigate XSS and other Web based exploits. Changed the Content-Security-Policy to be more strict (might break some apps). Secrets for tokens and salting passwords were changed on the backend. You shouldn't need to change your password, but it can't hurt at this point.

If you're unable to login on Firefox:

* Open Beehaw website, tools -> more tools -> web developer tools

* Delete EVERYTHING for cache, cookies, indexed db, local storage, session storage

* Ctrl+F5 the page and try to login again.

Absolutely will cause a lot more spam to go through. But why is that the custom written moderators tool/bot fault? Why isn't Reddit the company doing more to stop or combat spam/bots? Why keep doing their job for them, for free?? If it's so damn useful (and BotDefense is), then Reddit should be doing it, or I don't know pay for that service?!

WOW.

I can't speak for the other admins; but this part:

Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances

Isn't really a matter of us looking out for anyone else, except Beehaw really. It's us not wanting to deal with that crap and what it involves, either. Literally be nice. They weren't being nice, they don't fit the ethos here.
