    Yeah, he mentioned security.txt in the article, but complained that few implemented it.

    I guess that even if someone who apparently does computer security isn’t familiar with it, that Average Joe probably has no idea. Maybe there’s an argument that there should be some sort of Web browser support for “report problem with this page/site” that sends an email to an appropriate address with an URL for the page and comment so that people are more aware of it.

      Now that you mention it… I decided to check our lemmy instances and both lemmy.today and feddit.org have a robots.txt (of course^^) but no security.txt *sigh*

      Yours didn’t even bother to fill out the /legal page (which should also have contact information) although it’s a fixed part of the lemmy software with a link at the bottom of the site.
