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.

True that. If you look at posts on lemmy.world though, it's clear their users (which is like 50% of Lemmy) have zero clue they're defederated ATM, and probably many that don't know it's compromised.

    Federation and decentralization are not Web 2.0 concepts. Just like people who first learned what a tweet and a follow were and all the other concepts of those social media platforms, they'll learn the new paradigm. Or they won't and we'll stick to 2.0 platforms.
