A bunch of instances got compromised earlier today. Monero.town was not effected since this particular exploit requires a server to have custom emojis enabled.

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.

    Glad you had the sense not to enable extra garbage on this server.

      Indeed. When I first looked into Lemmy, the custom emotes had terrible performance (like 30 seconds to load a post if there were multiple in it) so I never looked into adding any.
