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

Maybe the admin got hacked?


edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked.

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.

You can't get malware or viruses just by visiting a site
