FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites.
Maybe the admin got hacked?
edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked. beehaw.org is also down, possibly intentionally by their admins until the issue is fixed.

I think you’ve never worked in software, or even used software, if you think paid close source apps don’t have issues like this. They can be worse because they’re written by interns and no one there actually cares, they just want their paycheck
I concur that the security behind closed doors I’ve seen is often non-existent. The incentives are typically stacked against security.
I work at the biggest software company in the world.
Sure there is projects with security flaws, but at the company I work, there is zero tolerance to big security flaws in the code, we have many automated checks, as-well as manual checks.
