It seems like they are down for a longer time now. How will they recover? Does longer down mean they will have to do more catching up with other instances? Can I get updates somewhere?

    Hacking an account is still a valid concern though for various reasons

    Let’s assume you’re doing the best practice thing and using a long and unique password for each service you use.

    What benefit does a hacker have hacking your lemmy-based account? Considering that everything you post is public… There’s simply nothing of value that you would obtain by “hacking” an account here… The only thing I can think of is if your a moderator of a community or an admin of an instance.

    I just don’t see any value to it… But even then… 2fa is slated for v0.18 which is probably coming out in the next few weeks.

      Mostly thinking impersonation, spamming, deletion or modification of history…. Although I’m sure there are probably other reasons too.

      2fa is slated for v0.18 which is probably coming out in the next few weeks.

      Only basic TOTP 2FA though. Webauthn/FIDO2 should be coming in the future though.
