FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites.

Maybe the admin got hacked?


edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked. beehaw.org is also down, possibly intentionally by their admins until the issue is fixed.

Yikes, hope they can find and disclose whatever they used to compromise an admin account.

Time to make an alt! Been thinking about switching instances anyway, so this is a nice test. Hope the situation gets resolved soon.

Looked like the admin u/MichelleG over there got hacked. That account posted a couple stickied posts and then all the css and links started changing on the site.
