I do see it as a potential problem with moderation on Lemmy’s end. You have all of the users from Threads interacting with Lemmy and Kbin users. It’s possible there’s an influx of accounts on here that are trolling, and it becomes unmanageable to moderate everything on Lemmy’s side.

But Threads will have no problems with content moderation.

Honestly, I see it as a win.

The people that did this didn’t really act out in a coordinated attack. They were just kind of playing around, redirecting to lemonparty, changing page elements.

It could have been a lot worse. The site could have been redirecting to malicious websites, downloading trojans, doing a lot of bad things. Instead, we got direct attention to the security vulnerabilities in question, and they’re being worked on and patched out relatively quickly. Helps that a lot of those on these communities are focused in programming and cybersecurity.
