@the-future #payitforward is just a new method of content curation that allows minnows to find eachother. I'll try to make a posting about it later. It's not a hack, I'm not a hacker. Likely someone was link spaming because that's not how the pay it forward thing works. OTOH I've never seen user spam a link before. Could also just be a display glitch with the site. It lazy loads a lot of content sometimes important things like style sheets don't get through before the content does and so you have what looks like the site has been defaced, but in reality the internet is just slow and laggy.
No I'm not a hacker. Not in that sense of the word no.
