Kolektiva.social got raided and deleted a post that wasn't bad
Kolektiva.social mods are fearing from another raid
Kolektiva.social was raided in May 2023, leaving its database unencrypted. The FBI seized this database, which frightened many Kolektiva.social admins.
Kolektiva.social admins posted:
“The database is the heart of a Mastodon server. A database copy such as the one seized may include any of the following user data, up to date as of early May 2023.”
Kolektiva.social admins also said one admin was charged with something they did not do. That incident made those admins worry about another raid.
They also stated:
“As a precaution, we highly recommend all users on Kolektiva.social change their password immediately to a new, unique, and strong password.”
“We sincerely apologize to all our users and regret this breach. Leaving a copy of the database unencrypted was obviously a mistake.”
Which is true, and I fully agree. But the problem does not stop here. A member of that server got a post deleted for being "antisemitic," as shown in the screenshot of the warning.
That member was stating his thoughts, but the admins believed he intended harm, which is untrue. I support that member’s right to appeal, but we do not know if the appeal was rejected or accepted.
Then the Kolektiva.social member leaked non-bannable content on his alt account, and after I read it, nothing seemed wrong.
