It’s not a massive complaint, but I’d hope “m.lemmy.ca” would be reserved for something more OS agnostic.

Yup. I get what you're saying now. It doesn't fit indeed. And yes m.lemmy.ca will be reserved for something more OS agnostic.

I'm here and I'm taking over running this Lemmy instance along with Shadow.

Haha if I strike a bridge we've got some big big problems considering I drive tankers.

I'll have to ask Kamscan how he's not being caught up by the rate limit and pass it on to my contact at the ministry. Explains why I was the one that updated on Twitter that the highway 3 closure earlier today has been cleared..

Power of the open source community.

In my opinion the "drama" was a critical part of immediately drawing attention to the voulnerabilty and bringing it to the attention of most instance admins very quickly.

Few things that have been added on my to-do list that I've learned from this.

  • We need more backend man power for coverage.
  • Major instances, and probably all instances should partner with another instance that's in an opposite time zone for emergency response. Ideally having partnered admins and backend admins with no more than 8 hours difference between each one for 24 hour reliable coverage would be ideal. Partnered admins should in my opinion have each other's phone numbers and have it set to bypass do not disturb.
  • We need to make sure users know how to contact admins off Lemmy for emergencies, as well as ensure that admins are tagged when a situation like this develops. (To my knowledge no lemmy.ca admin was tagged when this started to unfold.)
  • There's more thoughts but I can't remember them on 5 hours of sleep 😴

Any additional suggestions are welcome!

While I respect their decision, I believe that's a over-reaction at this point and we will not be doing that, yet.

At this point it doesn't seem like community sidebars have the voulnerabilty. We are fairly confident that they have identified the voulnerabilty and that lemmy.ca is safe as long as our admin accounts are properly locked down which we have confirmed.

Hey I'm not surprised that someone missed that it was a joke.

But look at that, doing your job 👍

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I mean... We could "fire you" if you really want but you sure seem to be doing a great job! 🤣

In general tho there's very few reports or issues, even as admins we barely seen any, and we get then for all reports made that involve a lemmy.ca community or user.

As the rule was originally stated, yes. This is how I had enforced it and had always been enforced in regional communities I participated in.

However the above examples "do not change the intention/message of the original title" so with more moderator discretion left available, those would probably be ok.

I got kicked off that mod team for enforcing the "No Distracted Driving" rule the sub had. 😆

I shoud check if there is an r/Truckers equivalent on Lemmy.

edit: Found it [email protected]

It's 100% superior to anything else I've used. If you use a good quality screw driver or bit, they'll NEVER strip, even using an impact driver.
