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.

Compromised in what way? Can you post proof?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just go to https://lemmy.world and see for yourself, although be careful it's nasty.

As of now it looks like this:

And then it randomly redirects to gore sites like lemonparty or chaturbate or some pedo shit. It's pretty bad.

Alright thanks

One of their admins (MichelleG) began posting messages about federation with only Threads. The site is redirecting users to Lemonparty (now there's a throwback). Site information has been vandalized with racist slurs.

Well, that escalated quickly.

Could you spoiler that weirdo image

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

How do you spoiler an image in Lemmy markdown?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you on an app? It’s this symbol on lemmy

Looks like this if you need to do it yourself

I don't think it works on an image?!

I mangled the link enough that it isn't rendering inline.

I tried 4 underscores, i tried 5. I can not tell from your screenshot exactly how many.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

ok, what's the trick? I tried 4 underscores

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I can't get it to work on an image. Is it 4 underscores?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

3 underscores did not work in preview, I'll just leave it as is now, a clickable link (not rendered inline)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I actually don't think you need the underscores, I'm not sure why it's not working

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The image isn't spoilered? lmao

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wasnt trying to spoiler that image

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Huh, ok I guess.

I'll try it myself here

spoiler
