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.

Mostly a risk on initial setup.

I’ve been waiting a bit for it to stabilize and just using huge random passwords

If you're using a password manager you'd be doing this for every site and without even having to think about it. Bitwarden is a great choice.

Oh I do. Used Bitwarden for many years.

I actually use keepass for totp codes too.
