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?

    An April fool’s joke that went on too long, probably.

    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.

    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.

    Could you explain what this community was about?
