Be alert, Please do not launch a new tab of Lemmy.World. Having tabs already open with this site is fine but as soon as you do you will be bombarded with awful content with malicious intent to cause shock, disgust and distress.
In the meantime use alternative instances, other instances are not affected by this compromise. Do not open any links/posts from the user MichelleG.
Thanks for reading, please stay safe out there Lemmy users!
Update: Lemmy World is under attack again.
Could be where the DM from the admin was legitimate but got compromised following contact by this app developer.
It is also possible nothing of the sort happened. The timing was just extremely alarming
