Just experienced this a couple sessions back… right before a Finger of Death hit

Only 135’ per 6 seconds though!

When a vulnerability at this level happens and a patch is created, visibility is exactly what you need.

It is the reason CVE sites exist and why so many organizations have their own (e.g. Atlassian, SalesForce/Tableau )

It is also why those CVE will be on the front page of sites like https://news.ycombinator.com to ensure folks are aware and taking precautions.

Organizations that do not report or highlight such critical vulnerabilities are only hurting their users.

If you go to your profile, there is a setting to turn it private; after that you should have an option on your posts to keep them private or public

I wish there was a simpler way to keep PixelFed private; I get that there is a lot of focus on the fediverse, but this can also serve as a private image/video sharing platform for close friends and family.

Being public by default creates a blocker for the average person joining it.
