Lemmy is open sourced, it doesn't matter what META does to their code, they can not do jack shit to the fediverse as a whole. Is that better?

Wasn't referring to what Meta could do or even necessarily that there's an issue with Lemmy's software. More that there's a bunch of servers with various configurations without resources dedicated to intrusion detection, mitigation or reporting. If something did happen at a server level to a hobbyist instance there's no reason to believe users or maybe even the persons running the instance would know about it.
