We know an issue occurred on the site over an hour ago with someone using my account to redirect the site, make fake posts, and change other settings. The problem has been corrected.

We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you informed.

    I think the difference between a hobby site and a large social media/ conversation platform is a site for your personal use without a comment section etc likely isn’t covered, whereas a site handling users personal data and transferring data between jurisdictions is.

    I absolutely agree there is no way I would want to navigate GDPR and other regulations as an individual and therefore no way I would host a Lemmy instance! It’s a big and complex undertaking, where basic compliance isn’t too difficult but dealing with any issues that you or someone else causes that impact you is a nightmare.
