  • The community can only read the source code, as of yet. All of the source code has been provided by a set of internal developers.

    The fact that it is open source means that, if somehow two malware elements have made it into the source code, then someone will eventually report it. But this doesn’t mean that two malware elements cannot be there right now.

    These two malware hits on total virus scan should be communicated to the developers.







  • Thanks for the replies. So I guess USENET had/has an advantage here, as all USENET servers replicate “all” newsgroups automatically. To the extent that one server exists, the newsgroup lives on regardless of its origination point. In that sense, the collective work of all contributors is not lost until the retention date passes.

    The ActivityPub proposal mentioned by @chris seems to be a good enough equivalent, at least for communities that are shared.
