Putting diesel in a gasoline engine could damage lots of seals, hoses, and o-rings. What is the mechanism for that? Diesel is not corrosive and it has greater viscosity.

I believe it’s the other way around, gas will affect rubber far faster and more damaging than diesel will, especially now that it’s a 10% ethanol mix.
