    I looked at some of the leaked source code and my god the code smells are so rotten its like they had a dead horse in the back for a while and its developed a stank like an Eric Andre skit.

    It increasingly looks like nobody would maintain this bundle of wax besides under-experienced juniors who threw themselves at it, and apparently after moot sold it, it was never touched. It runs on an extremely old version of FreeBSD and PHP.

    The fact this happened now as opposed to any time in the past decade is, I have no words.

      I wanna bet attackers probably thought it would be maintained by one or several of the most no-life, chronically-online users of the web… or that they would be waiting for an attack to get revenge in their typical unhinged way… and it turned out no one was maintaining or watching it at all XD

      I mean, the source code looks a lot cleaner than WordPress, which is an incredibly sad statement.

      Kill WordPress now.

          I wish people would stop censuring themselves on lemmy like they do for the other social medias. You can say shit, and a lot worse now that you aren’t asking a corpo for permission to speak.
