Is the Communities page, infected?

***** update: a comment reply said that derp foo is a name of a lemmy instance, so i'm sort of positive this was a false positive for a community hosted there getting flagged. what an idiotic thing to name your web asset, as it must get flagged all the time.

I just read a post a couple of minutes ago that lemmy.world is under ddos attack rn

I had trouble loading it, so that makes sense.

Ya. But I'm still able to access everything through a phone app

I got flagged on my work computer for connecting to derp foo (probably for an image). To satisfy security, had to remove all chrome extensions and reset chrome.

So I don't use Lemmy on my work computer anymore. That's sad.

Admin of derp.foo here. My best guess is Hetzner gave me an IP that had been used to host a botnet C&C before. As a precaution I switched to a new VPS; please contact me via matrix at @irdc:tchncs.de if the problem persists.
