This is what I see when I go to the main page.

Sometimes the page automatically redirects to a picture saying “I r@$*d a kid”, and other times it redirects to a malicious page (blocked by the rules of my adblocker).

What is happening?

    Lemmy.world admin account got compromised, and some trolling was installed

    Aw, you didn’t get lemonparty? That was a little nostalgic… lol

    Sidebar pic is still a super old school meme too.

    Impressive that they pulled it back so quickly. I bet they are in a frantic panic for opsec

      Indeed, I wonder how the admins credentials got leaked.

    One of the mod’s accounts was breached. Just some trolls hired by /u/spez (not actually) to take out the fediverse. Should be fixed pretty soon. I am no longer being redirected when I go there.
