This actually sounds pretty similar to what happened to feddit.de - the former main admin/infrastructure owner stopped being active, and eventually the active admins had to move to feddit.org when technical difficulties sprang up that they couldn't solve with their access level.

~~Only difference is that feddit.de didn't go up for auction, it's still running just with minimal user interaction.~~ Apparently it was somewhat recently deactivated.

Only difference is that feddit.de didn’t go up for auction, it’s still running just with minimal user interaction.

Doesn't appear to be, there aren't any IP addresses associated with feddit.de.

You know it's the Fediverse when you see people using dig instead of nslookup.

[–] oleorun@real.lemmy.fan 23 points 6 months ago

No need to point a finger at anyone.

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I just don't dig the way nslookup outputs its answers.

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It is the most unparseable. And are you using a Unix or Heil-Tim Cook-flavored variety?

Unrelated kinda but I use nslookup because I thought it was more widely supported out of the box than dig?

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 2 points 5 months ago

I use a GNU system, which as we all know isn't Unix.

I don't think I've ever been in a situation where nslookup was available but dig wasn't. On Fedora, they're in the same package.

Oh, that's new. Was definitely still running last time I checked 1 or 2 months ago.

[–] Asetru@feddit.org 3 points 6 months ago

it's still running

It totally isn't.
