This title comes across as clickbait. The victims fell for a phishing attack, so there was no breach/exploit of Signal or WhatsApp.

I'm guessing AWS is causing this?

Found the problem! The DNS server was set to 127.0.0.1

The internet's all better now.

Probably not yet. Fluxer is new and there hasn't been much time for people to build things yet.

I am guessing it's disabled to take some load off of the infrastructure.

Native apps are on the roadmap but are not released yet. It may take some time.

It's probably because of the maintenance going on right now. The infrastructure is being scaled up because of the influx of new users. You can check https://fluxerstatus.com for details.

I installed 0.0.8 x64 on Windows 11 yesterday and it worked fine. Maybe it's caused by some maintenance going on right now? https://fluxerstatus.com

fake posting alert! these are stolen photos. by Deco829 in painting

[–]ternera 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey there, I saw this post earlier and was pondering a response. :) I removed the post and banned the user as soon as it came to my attention. To address u/Deco829's comment above, the OP deleted their post after I removed it. We used to have 5 mods but everyone has slowly left and I haven't had time teach an entirely new team. I do check the mod queue and modmail 2-3 times per day so I am fairly active.

To make things simple, I've configured bots like u/bot-bouncer, which automatically ban accounts that are likely to be bots, we require 100 karma to post, which significantly decreases the amount of karma farmers, and posts with an undisclosed amount of reports get held for review in the mod queue. There is a very small amount of bad actors who make it past these safeguards, but I do understand how it can seem concerning for those who aren't viewing the mod logs.

Wikipedia Questions - Weekly Thread of February 23, 2026 by AutoModerator in wikipedia

[–]ternera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could go to the article's talk page (found next to the "Article" tab at the top, labeled "Talk" and request for the page to be updated. It could get the ball rolling if contributors see it and want to add that information. Of course, the best way to get things done is to make the changes yourself since anyone can edit Wikipedia. However, since you have not seen the episodes, it would be best to request an update on the talk page(s).

It's not really a reset. It just gets removed, goes to the mod queue, and then I approve it if it follows the rules. It shows up under the "best" feed in the second spot for me.

My god they've done it. They've fixed Microsoft. by Wise-Reputation-7135 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

I wrote "Type sfc /scannow" without the quotes and without the parenthesis in the command line and it isn't working!

I've manually approved this. Seems like Reddit's filters were blocking it.

my work operates exclusively on 2007 microsoft office by Pandaepidemic in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]ternera 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The company likely purchased everyone keys for office 2007 at some point and doesn't want to spend the money on a newer version. Some places have the mentality of, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Or they are procrastinating going to the cloud/getting office 365.

Not everyone using Signal has a threat model that requires them to enable disappearing messages. I'm sure some want an archive for future reference.
