Update

As of this post, https://lemmy.world/post/1290412, it is clear that the lemmy.world is working behind the scenes to mitigate the attack on their site. In addition, lemmy.blahaj.zone was known to take down their site to investigate a hack. After weighing the risks, we decided to federate with them once again, but we will also remain cautious.

Until the lemmy.world admin team can give a statement or until the community fully understands what is going on, MaiionChat will temporarily block the largest Lemmy instance.

At the moment, I am busy with other priorities, but from what I quickly gathered, please be careful clicking comments that might look like the ones in this post’s image: https://chat.maiion.com/post/68406 as it may be linked to an exploit described here: https://lemmy.max-p.me/comment/100796

The MaiionPostBot remains functional for local instance content, but feel free to continue browsing the All feed. Despite these recent events, being on Lemmy is a more engaging experience.
