with all the meta about the new social network called W going on I thought it was funny I just discovered a new flavor of #fediverse server at https://z.org.

@liaizon Somebody must've shelled out quite a bunch of $$$ for this domain

@smallcircles @julian shows up as a broken image here too https://browser.pub/https://activitypub.space/post/1000

@mx yeah thats why I was doing some digging, it seemed strange to have such a valuable domain tied to a weird partially finished piece of social software

@liaizon The strangest titbit is that the domain was dormant until 2012 and then wasn't in real use up until 2020s... The price must've been crazy! Makes me wonder what other sweet short domains were in that project94 and what happened to them...

@mx looks like the owner and the person whos running the site are separate people but friends so its just like "in use"

@liaizon He's probably just trying to distance himself to be safe I know I would if I happened to own a two letter domain in this day and age

@mx I figured it out just looking in the chat, the person who this podcast is about that looks to be rich from doing crypto theft (as talked about in the podcast) is the owner of the domain and this person Max is the one who is developing the site. blog.z.org is the personal site of the domain owner

hmm this seems like a bit of an issue with how @julian@activitypub.space is rendering replies
