Try it yourself: https://codeburg.org

The actual site is https://codeberg.org

Edit: sorry I was making a baseless claim in the title. I dont have proof that Microsoft did it. Here's the whois for what information is actually known.

Funny how Microsoft registered the domain on PorkBun, and chose not to publish the ownership information. And yet you know the real owner.

That, or you're just lying IDK...

For the curious: https://digger.tools/lookup/codeburg.org/whois so no, this is (in high likelihood) just a slightly expensive joke by someone

That just tells where the domain was registered, right? And that whoever did it chose to hide their info

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yes, there is no way to know for sure unless someone reported the activity on the website to porkbun and somehow their identity had to be exposed, I don't even know if that's possible.
It's just highly unlikely, I could make the wording fit that, actually

Why expensive? eg. codebarg.org would be 7.20€/year https://www.namecheap.com/domains/registration/results/?domain=codebarg.org

codeburg.org couldn't have been that much more expensive.

I mean as opposed to not spending any money at all, I just admire the commitment to the troll

I don’t it’s farfetched that microsoft would do this. But yeah, we can’t know for sure.

[–] Treedrake@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah... this sounds like a conspiracy theory tbh.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Does anyone own codeburger.org?

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

welcome to codeburger home of the codeburger can i take your order please?

[–] hono4kami@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

I tried running whois on the domain and can't get any information

It's possible OP is lying

[–] hono4kami@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are you sure it's Microsoft?

[–] rutrum@lm.paradisus.day 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No I was being accusatory unfairly. I've updated my post.

[–] hono4kami@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah don't do that
