@stux There may not be any visible Nazi trolls other than on a few instances most other instances defederated a long time ago, but there are right-wing bastards on the Fediverse who stay below the radar, they're using large instances and not really breaking the rules so the mods can't kick them out. And they're following many leftists, archiving and screenshooting our posts, making lists, reporting people to the cops.
If you want a real safe space on the Internet, you need to build a darknet one, running on hidden services only accessible through networks like Tor or I2P, where everyone is anonymous.
National Abortion Hotline Went Dark Amid Worker Strike Over AI
“This work is not just a paycheck for us. Each and every caller matters, so it was extremely difficult for us to come to the decision to strike,” the workers’ union said.https://www.autonomynews.co/national-abortion-hotline-went-dark-amid-worker-strike-over-ai/
I found that crafted #MeshCore node names could compromise #HomeAssistant instances running meshcore-card, with an XSS leading to remote root access on the HA host. An attacker could then access anything controlled or visible through Home Assistant. The attacker doesn't need to be near the target, as MeshCore advertisements are repeated over the mesh, which is dense in NL.
This also affects around 20 public MeshCore analyzer websites. Some of those run CoreScope, where it looks like a vibecoding bot broke the XSS filter while hallucinating a bugfix. The analyzers are mostly public data though. In addition, the less popular MeshCore-Home-Assistant-Panel-v2 is likely also affected, but I was unable to make contact with the maintainer.
MeshCore node names are only 32 bytes, and each rendered in a different place in the page, so I had to be creative to run a more substantial payload. I found a way with three node names using an iframe feature I never heard of before.
We're half way through this clusterfuck of a year, so I looked at the worst security incidents of 2026 so far, featuring: the hack of an FBI surveillance system; a trend of hacks targeting energy grids and water systems; and what lawmakers say could "be the largest data breach in our nation’s history.”

The fate of the first Reconstruction is such a crucial reference point.
One implication is that democratic progress – any attempt at leveling existing hierarchies of race, gender, religion, and wealth – will inevitably lead to a massive reactionary countermobilization.
