With so many variations of Lemmy and fediverse instances, are there any defenses against a malicious server running altered code? Is there a way to prove what code is supposed to be running on each instance?

      I am not talking about defederation, just straight blocking of that website in a corporate or similar network if it is used to target your employees which is what watering hole attacks are all about.

        Yeah, but the average internet users doesn’t understand these concepts. And with the use of “random-lemmy.random” it seems like it might be an easy attack to fall for
