Does the fediverse have defense against watering hole attacks? (en.wikipedia.org)

With so many variations of Lemmy and fediverse instances, are there any defenses against a malicious server running altered code? Is there a way to prove what code is supposed to be running on each instance?

That's a different conversation. I'm talking about an adversary who just creates a Lemmy instance and has malicious code embedded in the images, videos and text

What does that have to do with any corporation? Facebook specifically is already in a lawsuit this last month about installing malicious Root Certificates and performing man in the middle attacks against Amazon and Google, so I'm not sure what you're asking
