Yeah! Considering being repeatedly attempted (and succeeding)...I'm guessing it may take a little while to deal with.

PSA: LEMMY.WORLD WAS COMPROMISED in c/[email protected]

About 10:38 pm CST I had just opened it on my browser and it flashed a "Reddit has taken over this site for copyright infringement". And the icon at the top was changed for Israel with the words about raping a child on it. Definitely something wonky going on, but I haven't seen any redirects to anything off site. Definitely not going back from my computer (sounds like the app is safe, but only will check for an update).

Reddit's not my first. Anyone remember MSN Groups? (kbin.social)
 

I've seen a lot of sites come and go, some of which are still around, but the biggest change I saw was the end to MSN Groups...And boy, that was definitely something. Lost a lot of people I used to talk with often, and a whole host of information that is just gone.

However, having seen what became of reddit...well, I'm not too sad to say goodbye to it. Another (be it Lemmy, kbin, mastodon, what have you) will come around...At least I hope the information keeps being rewrit/improved upon, heh.

(Note: I'm not exactly sure if Article was the best choice to post this, but meh, it's what I used).
