Avatar is a lemming in bed because this account wasn’t intended to be used except for creating communities… and then my instance announced it was closing.

  • I don’t think it’s the same thing? Fedigrow is discussing how to grow, whereas this one is for posting communities and asking for people to post in them (to help them grow). Similar, but not the same. I think if fedigrow was inundated with “please post in xxxx community” that would be annoying, whereas here it’s expected.




  • Looks like that was just credential stuffing, though, not an actual vulnerability. Unique passwords and 2FA are enough to stop your account being compromised. They’ve been good enough to refund anything spent as a result of this. There have been far worse breaches and less reasonable companies, although I understand any concern after this sort of thing is reported.



















  • The issue is that if a crime is committed then the police will be interested in gathering any video footage they can get their hands on (I’ve had it at work where I’ve been asked for CCTV footage from cameras that may have had an outside chance of capturing something important). If a company is sending robots out with cameras on them, and they are recording footage, then that footage is going to be requested (whether the company admits to working with the police or not).

    Should there be this many cameras watching our every move? Probably not, but as the cameras are there, they are going to be used, and people should expect to be recorded - especially if they are committing a crime.
