I am posting with a serious concern regarding the domain situation, and with the background of a software engineer, not that this is all that technical of a concern. If this rogue mod is indeed rogue, why is thedonald.win still pointing to the epik nameservers?
If the rogue mod has not relinquished the domain, how did he allow the page (this page: https://i.gyazo.com/cfa0847c08ce932885335d1f90ea40c4.png) to be put up?
If the nameservers are still pointed at epik nameservers, why are we not still using thedonald.win as our domain name? Was this change intentionally implemented early in the day in the hopes that the rogue mod would not notice and immediately reconfigure the DNS?
Sorry to say, but we need more transparency regarding this issue. We need the full story. With everything that's been going on, particularly related to arrests of Trump supporters, and all that I personally have at risk, and everybody else here, the answers to the AMA did not satisfy me whatsoever.
For example, NO question regarding cryptographic canaries was answered. Aside from that, my above question regarding the compliance of the rogue mod was not answered. I do not want to risk my life and livelihood and my family pondering these issues in a political climate that specifically targets us.
I am asking for a full transparent break-down from the initial launch of why this rogue mod is indeed rogue, why we are not still using thedonald.win, and why it seems that this "rogue mod" is in full compliance of this transition given the page that links directly to patriots.win.
Things do not add up for me yet. I am an honest person even when people do not like what I say, and I expect the same from this community and especially the mods. That AMA post in my opinion should have been submitted with a full breakdown of all information related to this that does not compromise opsec. My apologies if this comes off as abrasive, however, like I said, in this climate, there is nothing more important than the security of the users here, and making the users feel secure being here.
Regards.
The Donald is no longer redirecting.
Your questions are still valid
Damn. That was fast. I guess we don't know yet if it's permanent. u/Doggos indicated in one of today's stickied posts that he "hopes and expects" the redirecting will continue.
Well, I hope so too...but that seems like a very unclear and vague statement...which is part of exactly what this post is about. Why so vague? Why so unclear? Why such sketchy messages about things that concern OUR security and OUR lives? I find it to be very unsettling. I will admit, I have not used a proxy or a VPN for every instance I have visited or used this website, and I do not want me or my family to be in jeopardy because the last remaining place on the internet for us to gather has been potentially compromised.
