A bunch of instances got compromised earlier today. Monero.town was not effected since this particular exploit requires a server to have custom emojis enabled.

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.

Glad you had the sense not to enable extra garbage on this server.

The less feature the less attack surface. Keep it with minimal features, just essentials
