What happens to user data on the old domain?

Doggos [M] [S] 471 points ago +473 / -2

There's no user data on a domain.

The owner of the old domain has no access to anything.

Do you agree to dispel once and for all with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing?

So why isn't this person redirecting at the DNS level? Is he cooperating?

It moved over... DNS re-naming doesn't change the backend servers or databases, it only changes the name you address the site by.

Silly-but-accurate analogy: Think of it as the post office giving your house a new address... it's still your house, all your stuff is in it, just that after awhile, all of your mail has to have the new addy on it in order to show up in your mailbox.

If an analogy is accurate, then it isn't silly. It's useful.

Thank you for the explanation.

Additionally, they moved authentication to a new domain for the benefit of all the communities recently (authenticat.win?)

There is no "data" on the domain. It simply pointed to a host IP.
