They forced us to invoke IP law, very communist lol.
We sent a formal email to the registrar explaining lemmygrad is our copyright and the copycat website was attempting to mimic us, which went against their TOS.
The host took it down just now but no word yet on what this means exactly. If they still have access to the domain or not.
We will follow them if they try something else with the lemmygrad name.
Anyway that’s that I think.
I have a suspicion the person who set up that website is the same who tried to DDoS us a few times. First piece of evidence: setting up lemmy and conducting a DDoS attack takes a bit of tech know how.
