We know an issue occurred on the site over an hour ago with someone using my account to redirect the site, make fake posts, and change other settings. The problem has been corrected.
We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you informed.
Such as this one. Do not follow any advice from @MichelleG at this time. It is highly likely the original user of the account has not fully regained control.
This user made a terse "status update" post to /m/random on kbin right after this one (with a post language of Afrikaans??), which makes no sense at all. Do not trust any status updates coming from this lemmy.world account.
