Does anyone know the status of #funkwhale? The website (funkwhale.audio) has been down for a couple days now. #fediverse @opensource

@opensource I see that a new whois record was created for the domain name just today. Any chance it expired? ๐Ÿ˜ฌ cc @funkwhale @cda

I wonder if it got hit with some kind of dmca shenanigans.

@Telorand @opensource Maybe. But I didn't think there was an actual funkwhale instance at that URL -- I thought it was just the project's website (forums, git repo, etc). I could be wrong, though.

If so, that's an unfortunate way of learning to separate the two, I guess. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Or it could be as simple as forgetting to renew the domain registration. Maybe they'll make a statement

That is a reminder that I should donate to the project. The instance that I joined is up and running.
