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.

It was cleaned up on the home page, but now back to being defaced as of this comment time.

Now I'm unable to open lemmy.world, even on liftoff. Mods must have taken it down.
