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?
Germany never saw a dystopia it didn't love
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.
