Sounds like beehaw.org has shutdown temporarily just to be safe, sounding like a vulnerability in Lemmy.
- Currently it seems to be a vulnerability with custom emojis only, which this instance never had, so currently we shouldn't be affected. However this is a developing situation and we will continue to monitor.
  
  I just want to say I love you guys
  
  Good job admins for staying on top of the situation!
  (... and have you made a snapshot backup, just in case? 😁 )
My EEEEEEEEEEYES AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH the instance is pure white, probably utilizing some witch-craft to bring sunlight directly into my eyes. How do I return the blessed darkness to my screen??
Seems they're back up and the devs pushed out a patch for the vulnerability.
- We have updated to a patched version.
  
  It's been interesting watching this all play out on an open source social network. It's all out in the open so it caused quite the drama, but the actual order of events? Site goes down and is back up and vulnerability patched like 4 hours later? That's really impressive.
What the hell happened here?? I get logged out of wefwef, come here to investigate, and I see something about a vulnerability???
