A new security fund opens up to help protect the fediverse

A new security fund aims to help apps in the fediverse — like Mastodon, Threads, and Pixelfed — to pay researchers for disclosing security bugs.

The fediverse, also known as the open social web that includes Mastodon, Meta’s Threads, Pixelfed, and other apps (...)

Mention Lemmy for once 😠
- Meta’s Threads
  
  LOL
- We are tiny in comparison to the rest of the fediverse.
  
  But its actually usable, pixelfed sucks, prob way more actual engagement and conversation here, pixelfed is hella ppl posting with no likes or views
- Yeah!
  
  I asked here about that and was told there's not enough of us here. Meh.
  
  Funny how that works. Wonder if not mentioning it will help remedy that?
Was the first paragraph written by the Meta marketing department?
I still feel that interoperability between mastadon and Lemmy is kind of messed up. How to browse a Lemmy community through mastodon application?
- You cannot use a mastodon app as a lemmy client, but you can view lemmy communities by opening them as if they are profiles. For example, open @fediverse@lemmy.world and it will show up as a user, but it will be the communitiy's posts.
  
  You can mention it in a post to forward the post to the community as well.
- It’s terrible
I can't wait to find out which project has the most security holes 🔥

Any guesses?
- The ones with the most amount of code lines and dependencies probably. More code = more problems.
  
  IMO poor security is more about a lack of eyes on the code. Projects that have a single developer and a lower user-base will be pretty easy money.
