  • Not do downplay this issue, but based on the description, OP had a valid session cookie, and was updating their profile to disable MFA since they lost the code. They weren’t brute forcing logging in.

    I haven’t looked into the source code, maybe this is an instance by instance configuration, but login attempts are rate limited. After a few failed attempts, I started getting this message:

    Lemmy Error: You’re being rate limited, wait a bit before trying that again.















  • 2006 was only 4 years ago, right? RIGHT?

    Still though, the average age in the US is 38 so for most people, there was an amendment ratified during their lifetime.

    Speaking for me personally, I would consider anything that happened in my parents generation to be a recent collective memory, at least until I get to the age my parents were when they had me. Sure I wasn’t alive during the moon landing or JFK assassination, but they’re still pretty recent events in the grand scheme of US history.
