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.

probably even the top admin don't, it's gonna be encrypted, so even they don't know your password(except if they changed the code to store it in .txt) but always use differnt password in the internet

Nothing is encrypted except a user's password. If you have access to the database you can replace that with a known password hash.
