To be fair, they largely are the center of our world, and that's the problem.

The moral of the story is not to let oneself be blinded by one's prejudices. Most people are good, and you have nothing to fear from them. Most people look out for each other to some extent. That is the moral of the story, OP.

Those are all fundamental aspects of Lemmy's security that should be there but are not
The lack of those tools is what I was talking about
I'm not gonna lie, I'm surprised it took this long for some dipshit to try something like this. Lemmy's security has more holes in it than a piece of Swiss cheese and we're fools if we think it's viable enough for it to serve as a long-term home for new social media.
We really, really need a better social structure than federation.

Nazis don't have access to the Lemmy backend the way the devs do, and the devs are tankies. Tankies hate Nazis. And this attack would have required knowledge of Lemmy backend only a dev would have, so it can't have been the Nazis.
It very well might have been tankies, though.
It's serious flaw of federation #19865438736 that'll go ignored even when innocent instance admins end up getting jailed over it
How is it legal for them to just throw you in jail forever just for pissing off a judge? Why even pretend we have rights if that's how the system is going to operate?
