   @strandjs spot on. Why didn't you mention Java?

     Quick question.

     Some news sources are calling out security issues in Mastodon as proof it is a dumpster fire waiting to happen.

     But I am old. It seems any platform that gets new attention will have newly discovered issues. I remember Win NT, Java, Adobe, Java and Java issues .

     Oh, and Zoom when they exploded during COVID.

     So thoughts?

     @strandjs 'New' things bring excitement along with fear of the unknown; this may explain the focus on potential vulnerabilities.

     I pose this question to folks fear-mongering Mastodon insecurities: Do you put this much energy and time into identifying problems within the environments that you work in/manage/etc?
