Hiw is this fediverse's opsec?

I was derping around and shifted to this instance, and when I was about to immediately ask here as to when other Lemmy instance would wipe all of my previous activity on their instance, i noticed that the Icon changed

cw: racist caption popup

When you hover on it, it shows a racist caption. When you click on it, it shows creepy old men doing each other.

Who has access to this specific instance and why people do this is idk anymore.

Pls ignore this post if it has bene fixed lol

Edit: the thing redirects to you page changed content, either something that shit posty or right wingy/rude/creepy. Someone needs to take a look at this lol

I find it unlikely to be necessary because the MichelleG account shouldnt have needed database access and it appears the attack was troll related with basic XSS redirects. You can wait for an official response however it is always good policy for yourself to do so anyways.
