Title. Probably best not to go there till its all settled.
Yeah… It’s my main instance. Logged in via the website and it redirects to some nasty NSFW stuff. Another reason I have accounts on different instances. Wonder if vlemmy.net might have also been the victim of whoever is attacking lemmy.world.
Unlikely, as the vlemmy.net admin closed all the donation links.
I think it speaks to the owner finding something that made them feel legally vulnerable and not wanting to deal with all this
Yup sadly. They been redirecting to lemon party and some weird video. This is the admin that been hacked:
This has 20 year old script-kiddie anon troll written all over it.
“Har har har they don’t like threads so let’s troll them by saying we’re opening everything up to Threads! I am 1337 haxx0r!”
Which ironically just makes this all feel even more like it did back in the wild west days of the internet lol.
Weird. I wasn’t aware that threads.net was able to link to Lemmy yet. I read this morning that all the talk of defederation was preemptive
It is preemptive, but the admin from lemmy.world and mastodon.world indicated that they would not defederate preemptively and instead would defederate if they did something. The mere fact that threads exists constitutes doing something as far as I’m concerned which is why I moved over here.
Wow. I doubted you so I checked it out. Pinned posts about federation with threads.net that redirect to lemon party. At least it’s some dumbass instead of a malicious actor that was trying to subtly mess with things.
It’ll be good to shake all the low hanging security stuff out before election season really kicks off.
How do I not go there? Do I need to check every link to make sure the community is not on lemmy.world?
Well I take it as a good sign for the fediverse. You know you’ve made it on the world stage when trolls and bad actors actually bother to come poke at your platform.
