porkbun be like YOUR WHOLE FUCKING MENTALITY IS EXPIRED HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
-
@phnt @meso I haven't really seen any cases like that in the 3 years I've been a customer, can you name a few cases where that happened
-
@meso Porkbun has a history of seizing domains whenever they like to based on their hate speech clause somewhere buried in their TOS. They basically pull the same shit Hetzner does.
-
@phnt Epik got pwned :D
Namecheap is too corporate and cucked Russians out of their domains. Porkbun is fine, it's like if Namecheap wasn't completely cucked
-
@meso Oh, that's fucking stupid. Anyway, Namecheap is probably the only good registrar left. Epik has a laughably shitty web UI that barely works, got purchased and immediately stared complaining about hate speech on Twitter and who knows how good their security really is. Njalla outright just seizes your domain whenever they want to, because it's ran by the pirate bay owners who really like antifa. And Cuckflare is well... Cuckflare.
-
@phnt i did create a virtual card but they need to fucking DELIVER A PHYSICAL VIRTUAL CARD TO ME AND THEN I CAN USE IT
-
@meso That's normal fraud detection stuff. Create a temporary card for one transaction, if your bank allows that.
-
@meso Switch to Namecheap if you still can, although I doubt it. Did they at least give you a reason for not wanting your money?
-
@phnt namecheap fucking sucks. they told me i cant use my card because its used on another account like nigga come on
-
@sneeden @phnt @meso That was the TLD people, not porkbun
-
@nyanide @phnt @meso i think they screwed sjw back when bae.st was neckbeard.xyz
-
@phnt @meso 1st is understandable they had this like court document name and address in one of the block reasons. Support person handling the report ticket likely did not care to review the info any further.
2nd was extremely silly yeah
I haven't heard about the 3rd case but Mint did say the crypto options suck now so I'll believe it, but sort of understandable considering the current state of affairs. The Russia part not the crypto thing.
-
@nyanide @meso The most notable one was cum.salon which used to be on Porkbun and got seized by them (doxing).
getgle.org also had some problems with them. They called the mascot CP or something I think. Quite ironic considering their track record with actual CP/loli.
A nameless company which I worked for had few problems with their support after some trolls decided it would be funny to send abuse emails to them.
Other than that, they are usually fine, but their TOS irks me the wrong way. The hate speech clause was very broad when I last checked it months ago (they might have changed it) and since they are sometimes very trigger happy with it, I don't like it.
ryona.agency almost didn't get renewed because Visa/MasterCard cards from the Russia aren't obviously allowed and their crypto options suck, but that's a different thing.
-

Yeah that's the thing that scares me with those types of companies, they're unpredictable when they have a clause like that in their TOS. Haven't had anything happen to me directly from porkbun yet but wouldn't count on them to not do something eventually maybe a long time from now. I'm just one guy though so maybe eventually a nicer option'll come up in the far future and for now I can just remain unaffected cause I don't get a lot of attention. Idk.
-
@nyanide @meso Yeah, the ryona.agency thing is understandable considering they also don't want to manage their own crypto platform. I don't even know if Frantech accepts crypto without some KYC from the crypto platform. I've never tried to pay them via crypto.
And the nameless company thing... I'm not doxing myself today. :DD It was a frustrating email chain, but they worked it out. I think they are still using them to this day even.
-
@nyanide @meso You don't really attract attention from people that might want to take advantage of that clause I think. It's not like they scrape domains registered with them for "bad" content.
What caught me of guard wasn't that they had the hate speech clause. It was that hate speech wasn't defined anywhere in their terms. That's what set the alarms for me. If the listed example, or clearly defined, I wouldn't mind it as much.
-
@phnt @meso Yeah the vagueness thing was what I was referring to when talking about unpredictability. Essentially just leaves the definition up to whatever the support agent thinks it is one day.
-
@nyanide @phnt @meso i couldbt even choke down 3 words of this bland boring sentencs. Its pizza time instead sorry
-
@phnt @nyanide @meso They used to have some normal crypto payment provider who while didn't have XMR, would still let me simply transfer funds to an LTC address or whatever. Now they've replaced it with Coinbase which I think is even more of spit in the face than dropping the crypto option in entirety. Don't know what I'll do in April, would probably transfer the domain to Incognet.
