Oh, great. #Pixelfed had a broken implementation of "follower-only" posts, _and_ fucked up the disclosure / bugfix release process.

https://fokus.cool/2025/03/25/pixelfed-vulnerability.html

Summary of the bug: If you have a protected account (on Pixelfed, Mastodon, GTS, whatever) and a Pixelfed user followed you and got approved by you, _all_ users on that instance were now able to see your followers-only posts, not just the one you approved.
