1 year agoNot the original commenter but if someone is listening in on your connection it doesn’t really add any security. The hacker would be able to just send the hashed password instead of the plain text and would be able to login.
The hashing algorithm would be public facing so its easily reversible anyway.
You really think that the people who are still on lemmy after lemmy.world got hacked and ddossed multiple times care about a few bugs or down time?
Also there is very little chance that lemmy makes massive improvements to their reliability in a single month. Lemmy is very much a long time away from meeting the service levels set by average users.
