What's going on? Rust changes to Mozilla logo ...
This is now a Mozilla forum. All your Rust are belong to us!

There was some maintenance in the morning, I assume something went wrong. If you scroll down, the Mozilla text in the header becomes a generic home icon. I hardly believe this was changed on purpose.

Now you can only use Rust for writing Mozilla products.

It is there as text, with its letters selectable individually:
Perhaps during maintenance work, the path to the Rust logo got broken temporarily, and now we're seeing placeholder text.

Once upon a time Rust was a project of mostly Mozilla employees. Presumably this is either an accidental reversion to backup or old lingering data that was hidden by the proper logo.

The <title> tag on the main page is still "Mozilla" though, so it hasn't been entirely fixed.
EDIT: It seems things are more broken on desktop than on mobile as well.

I presume this is also why I was logged out on all devices…

It was "Rust" for a brief time some hours ago and now it is Mozilla again. 
But the forum just works so, not a great problem.
We can regard this as a tribute to Mozilla, as the organization where Rust was incubated.
Software developer Graydon Hoare created Rust as a personal project while working at Mozilla Research in 2006. Mozilla officially sponsored the project in 2009.
From:
I subscribed yesterday and I had a strange feeling seeing Mozilla instead of Rust 
Also I had been using my GitHub account to authenticate with users.rust-lang.org until yesterday, but then the GitHub auth option disappeared. I had to do a password-recovery via email request in order to actually create a login credential directly with this site. Which is fine, I'm not a fan of the cross-site sign-on anyway.
But it would have been good to have an announcement in the forum somewhere that these changes were intentional.
I don't think they were. Removing SSO sounds like an unintentional regression. Also, for me it still works, which makes this feel even more like a mishap.

I wouldn't quite go that far.
It's not related to this "update" per se, but discourse has been going downhill for a while now, especially on mobile. See the screenshot I just took to see how broken the input field is, for example. That giant gap in the middle is not photoshopped. And it's not just the looks either, its behavior has degraded significantly in the last number of months.
Problem is, the developers have disabled issues on their github, thereby robbing themselves of a crucial feedback loop, and preventing me from even reporting it.

Huh. I'm near exclusively on mobile and I haven't seen that before, something to do with Android version, or browser? Your text does look larger, but I can't figure how it would cause that issue.
It seems they would prefer bug reports to the meta site, though it does seem weird: https://meta.discourse.org/

Not even. It wasn't unthinkable that I had zoomed in a bit, but I double-checked that just now and nope, font size is 100%.
As for the browser, that's just Chromium. And as for the android version, I'm using a Samsung phone, which is the most-used version of android one can find.
Thanks for the link, at least I can try to discuss it with them now.
As for their chosen venue, that seems counterproductive to me: They are probably doing it for dogfood reasons, but everyone knows github while I didn't even know this url was a thing. So they've created a bit of a discoverability problem for themselves there.
The infrastructure team is aware of this. There is no evidence pointing to a hack, it seems that some settings reverted to ancient values. I just changed the name back to "Rust", and we'll followup with Discourse to learn exactly what happened here.

I opened a topic in the discourse "meta" instance to understand what happened and ask to revert our settings 
plus there seems to be new/old non-rust icon of a house on mobile web version... in the top left corner of page, except the forum's root one where its correct
