    What about Lemmy , kbin, or beehaw; are they vulnerable to account hacks too (not that I care about beehaw; but curious) ?

    Better title to this article would have been “Mastodon vulnerability that allowed* attackers to take over accounts has been fixed.”

      Yeah, it’s a very clickbaity headline about an issue that was fixed last week. Basically, admins keep your servers updated.

      No idea, but if Lemmy has such a vulnerability, so does Beehaw. It’s just another instance of the same software.
