Fair, although explaining a potential vector for a hypothetical XSS attack and its implications to someone who doesn’t know what Javascript is sounds like information overload

You download a copy of a photo I took to your computer.
I have a website that lets people see the photo, it’s a popular website
Except that photo on my website doesn’t point to a copy of that photo on one of my computers, it points to the copy on yours.
Millions of people visit my website, and each time they do, they download your copy of my photo.
Uploading that photo to millions of computers across the world fucks up your internet service. You could also switch out my photo for another one, maybe even an offensive one, but my website would still point visitors to it.
In the original post, this is what a multibillion dollar corporation, a bank, did to a not-for-profit service that keeps a historical record of the internet.
I hinted at the security implications of what happened, but explaining that would make the analogy too complex.
I’m thinking of leaving lemmy, too.
Information is worthless without context, but that’s all that content aggregators seem to like.
Community is worthless without connection, anonymous text isn’t much to connect over.
All Reddit had going for it was a wealth of diverse experiences for people to draw from. For Lemmy, this is at best a side dish, a sprinkle of gold over a pile of shit.
u r dumb enough to let someone take advantage of your naivety in some topic out there, tech nerd.
that’s just how shit works, remember it.
I nominate itch to cannibalise the fucker
