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.

Yea, I switched to this alt. It appears to be one of the assistant admins accts. Seems like an old fashioned anon prank, to me, they're mainly just trying to make stuff offensive and redirect people to lemonparty.

So, y'know, old school.

I don't know if any data is actually in danger, but I doubt it. I don't see why assistant admins would need access to it.

I don't see why assistant admins would need access to it.

because it's easier than figuring out what permissions they actually need

Lemmy permission system is very limited, it's a boolean for admin

this is what happens when socialists design hierarchies
