I don't use other instances, I use lemmy.world. Questioning why and how a major instance got hacked isn't an outlandish line of questioning; I need to know whether this will continue to be a safe, reliable, and secure instance to use otherwise I and presumably others will go elsewhere. This was relatively minor in the grand scheme of things, so hopefully it'll be enough to prompt a fix for whatever caused it (seems like it was possibly insecure code not correctly sanitising HTML).
You're absolutely spot on, it will be important to hear what happened and how and why. If an admin account was compromised, that's not a good reflection on the security and related practices of this instance.
