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.

Hmmm. Don’t know what the fall out of this will be. But a lot of lemmy is on that server. Unfortunately. Maybe we’ll learn a lesson in the value of decentralisation.

Ruud also runs mastodon.world, FYI.

This is why it makes sense for communities to not all pile into one instance, it gives one instance admin too much power and responsibility over everything.

mastodon.world seems okay, but whos to say where the silos are between that and lemmy.world.

was just some of the admin in the lemmy, i don't think they share the same admins

I don't think there will be too much fallout. Sites get hacked.
