It seems that the link previewer on my instance does go on Nickelodeon but I'm trying on all of my devices and it redirects on my own website

What do you get, and what do you think is happening?

@Yuki I get your site; perhaps they pointed it at an IP address that once hosted their site, and now hosts yours?

@joepie91@social.pixie.town don't really want to get in the details yet but that's more or less what is happening

basically they deleted their site on a shared hosting service which also happens to be mine, left their DNS pointing there, and then told them I was the owner of that domain, and they just said, yeah, sure

@yuki @joepie91 this seems like such a common mistake to make, ive long wondered why i dont hear about it happening more!

@astrid@tiny.tilde.website @yuki@groupe-tazor.com @joepie91@social.pixie.town Indeed

It's the kind of company complex enough whoever has the rights to their IP in the US isn't the same entity as in every other country and I bet the IT guys in the US can easily lose track of who's still active
