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.

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.

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