Asking for a friend: do you remember the fantastic https://w-social.eu website that explained to people what the Fediverse is and why it's a much better alternative to #WSocial?

Sadly it appears to be offline / with an expired SSL cert. Do you know who is behind it? Any chances of reviving it?

The folks behind W Social are launching the site this Saturday... they already got TV coverage in Germany last night ​

@elena all three authoritative DNS nameservers for the domain REFUSE the answer, so it looks pretty dead to me.

@elena https://www.eurid.eu/en/ lists a contact email address through the domain details lookup (whois). Not sure to what extent that's monitored but it's *supposed* to be valid.

Are there really three DNS servers for that domain? I see three NS records, but two of those resolve to the same IP address and the third is legacy-only. The one authoritative I can query does indeed give me a REFUSED response, so at least in that regard my observations agree with yours.
