How is that even possible???
If he wanted to, couldn’t spez just buy it, and make it serve as a redirect to reddit? I don’t understand how SOMEONE hasn’t bought/used this domain for fediverse purposes.
The idea there should be some definitive, canonical domain for the Fediverse is completely at odds with the core tenents of the Fediverse itself - decentralisation, and no single point of ownership or control. And on that basis, we absolutely should not care about a particular domain, or assign any level of ‘specialness’ to it.
I understand your worry - that some ‘bad actor’ could buy the domain and do something anti-Fediverse with it, but my response would be to simply not care. The strength of the Fediverse is that we are diverse and unbothered by whatever nonsense some centralised platform is trying to pull. We don’t have a profit motive. We don’t care.
People who want to find the real Fediverse will find us, all on their own, regardless of who some random domain belongs to :)

send the money to lemmy devs instead of a domain.

I’d rather send it to a non-tankie platform. I regret my previous financial contributions.

Software works regardless of their political posturing. Your baker might be a nazi as well.

I assume you’ll delete your Lemmy account and move to another platform soon then?

internet tribalism is my faaaavourite <3
do you really need to start fights with people that are striving for the same goal, just because you have differing opinions on other things? do you think that different political parties should never work together?

Isn’t that somewhat the point of the federated system? Prevent censorship? Enable various points of view to have a platform? It’s somewhat up to the moderators of the groups and the community as a whole to determine what information is allowed on their local platforms.
On the internet, almost without fail, a few bad apples exist. And sometimes the bad apples really yell the loudest.
But not having an algorithm amplifying the bad apples is about the best we can hope for now.
