(probably not) Microsoft bought "codeburg.org" and redirects it to github.
Try it yourself: https://codeburg.org
The actual site is https://codeberg.org
Edit: sorry I was making a baseless claim in the title. I dont have proof that Microsoft did it. Here's the whois for what information is actually known.
Funny how Microsoft registered the domain on PorkBun, and chose not to publish the ownership information. And yet you know the real owner.
That, or you're just lying IDK...
Yeah their main Microsoft.com domain is registered with MarkMonitor like so many other Fortune 500 companies. So no, I really doubt they own this unless some intern went rogue.
I just wanted to say I appreciate you taking the time to fact check OP's claim
And I appreciate you saying that
vs.
Source: I made it the fuck up
For the curious: https://digger.tools/lookup/codeburg.org/whois so no, this is (in high likelihood) just a slightly expensive joke by someone
That just tells where the domain was registered, right? And that whoever did it chose to hide their info
Yes, there is no way to know for sure unless someone reported the activity on the website to porkbun and somehow their identity had to be exposed, I don't even know if that's possible.
It's just highly unlikely, I could make the wording fit that, actually
Why expensive? eg. codebarg.org would be 7.20€/year https://www.namecheap.com/domains/registration/results/?domain=codebarg.org
codeburg.org couldn't have been that much more expensive.
I mean as opposed to not spending any money at all, I just admire the commitment to the troll
I think you're misunderstanding, I'm of your same idea, I'm saying that it is not Microsoft, exactly because, as you say, it's all redacted and registered through porkbun, which isn't the registrar they usually use, I also couldn't see it as a covert operation sponsored by Microsoft because Codeberg is frankly no threat to them at all, so it wouldn't warrant spending any money on this publicity stunt (even though I personally support it against GitHub, but I'm just being realistic here)
Yeah somehow I totally misread that, sorry.
You're good, don't worry!
Is it for sure Microsoft?

I don’t it’s farfetched that microsoft would do this. But yeah, we can’t know for sure.
Yeah... this sounds like a conspiracy theory tbh.
Does anyone own codeburger.org?
welcome to codeburger home of the codeburger can i take your order please?
One spaghetti code, please.
I tried running whois on the domain and can't get any information
It's possible OP is lying
Are you sure it's Microsoft?
No I was being accusatory unfairly. I've updated my post.
Yeah don't do that
I know you already edited the post, but someone need to post This
