news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

between the Twitter "okta leak" yesterday and this today we really need to be working on internet literacy here.
The B Gerber in the WHOIS is probably the CISO of Coupang, weirdly.
Idk why they'd use this old web-1.0 site to register their domain name, but I also don't have high opinions of the ACP's literacy either. More likely visual kinetic was just squatting the domain and the whois hasn't updated.
We also need to work on some comm name literacy here too since some people need to learn how to differentiate between posting unsubstantiated info to a news comm vs posting ubsubstantiated info to the shitposting comm (joking? lol)
although I should probably look into talking about adding 'no posting unsubstantiated news' to the rules list too now that I think about it
can only support this, would prevent lazy linking from garbage twitter threads.
this side of Maoist Twitter is practically devoted to giving these guys publicity with their 24/7 speculation I wish they would just pause a few hours to fully investigate and also question if they should be spending all of their time arguing with feds, something these very feds are telling them to do
"Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?
It won't do!
It won't do!
You must investigate!
You must not talk nonsense!" -
oh I was talking about the post about the leak yesterday in c/chapo, not your attempt to make c/main c/fakenews
probably the funniest actual thing here is that they paid $7500 for their domain name lol
I have never seen whois fail to update immediately? Since when does it ever take more than a couple hours?
EDIT: Looked it up and almost every says it's usually 1-3 hours. In the WORST case scenarios it's 24-48 hours.
The domain was bought weeks ago.
It looks like the DNS record was updated at 5:01:01 GMT this morning (July 25th). The twitter post is from yesteday (July 24th)
spoiler
That's obviously a reaction to this post though. They realised the mistake and changed it.
Yeah apparently it gets a little more complicated:

Also that C&D letter is hilarious.
I've said for years now that they're feds so this really isn't that surprising. They have always been exactly what I would create if I was a fucking fed.
i'm just never surprised when DNS shit takes forever
