Unrelated to the blaming of Hexbearians in the linked comment chain, this attack was something I was worried about when I set up my own server. Seeing it happen for real (thankfully, not in a community me or my partner was subscribed to) made my shutter the instance for good. I'm all in on Hexbear now.
