An update:

  • fmhy.ml is gone, due to the ongoing fiasco with mali government taking all their .ml domains back
  • As such, lemmy.fmhy.ml is also gone, we are currently exploring ways to refederate (or somehow restart federation entirely) without breaking anything substantial
  • We have backups, so don't worry about data loss (you can view them on other instances anyway)

Currently, we have fmhy.net and are exploring options to somehow migrate, thank you for your patience.

Actually really huge security threats. It's a very good idea to block them. I especially did because my girlfriend works for the government and does some secret stuff that can't really get out, and she deals with a ton of real .zip files. I think everyone regardless of who they are should make sure to block them.
