Just went there and didn't immediately see anything out of the ordinary, but then was redirected to Chatroulette, lol yikes
Really hoping it's "only" redirecting to offensive sites, and not to malware. I got redirected a few times, before I closed my browser.
TBF modern browsers are remarkably secure from being a vector to pwn your computer these days.
EDIT: I don't endorse hanging out on a compromised lemmy.world. Focus on the implication for the bigger lemmyverse though. A hack coming through to you is unlikely.
I sure hope so
