Have I missed some big fediverse news?
Lemmings.world annou rd shutdown a few months ago, the time limit was whenever the domain expired, which was a few days ago and now their registrar is redirecting to some sort of ad revenue site during the recoverability period
We've lost !dailybunnies@lemmings.world. Rest in cyberpeace my fluffy friends.
Edit: They have found a new home !dailybunnies@lemmy.dbzer0.com
What instance?
Lemmings.world
How is it already a scam site???
I think it's their registrars doing, per their registrars docs it's still "recoverable" for 60 days or something after expiration date, but they can redirect DNS whenever they want
Do we have, like, a fundraiser? Can we still bring them back?
I tried to talk with the admin to take things over, they gave me some initial info on the costs that they pay but then went silent.
It also wasn't really a costs thing iirc, it was mostly burn out from dealing with tankies, trolls and bots (scammers, spammers and scrapers) on top of rising costs
Ah, that makes sense. Bummer, though. I wonder if someone else can grab the domain and rebuild once it expires?
this happens with pretty much every domain that lapses. the domain is still out there, it doesn't go away, it just goes into a sort of "holding pattern" until someone decides to buy it again. and usually said holding pattern is some bullshit ad site to try and make a bit of money of a corpse.
Ah fuck, there you are
Always a good time to stop and remember to donate to your instance if you're able βΊοΈ
The domain redirects to Planet News π
