As enraging as this whole story is, I don’t think there’s any coming back from ‘you’re a war profiteer’

And I would hope those websites are extremely low-risk and not anywhere near essential infrastructure or data ;)

I’m not sure who needs to hear this, but unless you work as a security engineer or in another security-focused tech field, you really shouldn’t be exposing your homelab to the open internet anyway

Most people access their homelabs via VPN - i don’t see anything here that’s a problem for that use-case.

The longer I’m on lemmy, the more I realize just how dumb reddit user controls are

When I was on reddit, it seemed to matter so much how old your account was on any given subreddit, but now i realize it’s extraordinarily bad opsec to have a single account.

All this to say: there being a single point of authority that can issue IP bans and shadowblocks and generally have control over user identity information is just so needlessly stupid.
