I went to login to my mbin (previously kbin) account today for the first time in a few weeks, and I was greeted with an image that indicates the assets of teacup.social had been seized. http://teacup.social
Doesn’t make any sense to me, teacup.social had all the normal stuff blocked, like lemmynsfw.com.
Is this legitimate or did someone else steal the server and this is their version of a joke?

This is very likely fake somehow. The source-code of the banner links to: https://github.com/Linuzifer/domain_seizure

An April fool’s joke that went on too long, probably.
@MrKaplan@lemmy.world pointed out that after reviewing the html source there’s a link to this https://github.com/Linuzifer/domain_seizure… looks like a joke or a hack.
Not sure why you’d want to do that, but it certainly makes more sense.
Apparently they do a whole lot of blocking and deleting of websites in response to complaints in Germany. I don’t know if teacup.social was among them but with that much stuff getting nuked every day there are bound to be a few false positives. Something to consider before you host anything at Hetzner, perhaps.
Edit: On further searching the web, it seems that ordinary web censorship doesn’t typically involve big scary-looking notices from the BKA. Maybe they happened to somehow or other share an IP address (or a server) with these guys?
that’s interesting. Certainly there would have to be false positives. That’s gotta be hella difficult reputations of smaller websites.
Dead drop darknet deliveries. That’s hot shit. Of course that was back in 2022.
Germany never saw a dystopia it didn’t love
people give me shit for running my instance at amazon, but i dont hear a lot of this nonsense from that corner…

http://teacup.social/ loads for me.
We’re all on a list now.
If you aren’t already on a list, you are doing it wrong ;-)
I love this comment so much, but it feels hypocritical for a supporter of Canadian cricket to be lecturing people about doing it wrong.
Yikes! Where’s the unsubscribe button ? :-)
same thing I saw
It’s not loading for me at all.
Edit approximately an hour later: Now it’s loading for me. Maybe a dns issue or something with the take down/over.
It isn’t loading for me.
