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
