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.

But won't custom emojis from remote instances still trigger the exploit?

Apparently the custom emojis are rendered as static images when federated to outside instances so it's clean.
