No Stupid Questions

If you declare an antifascist organization as terrorism you are outing yourself, mate.

This is an absolutely fantastic read about the history of A/I for anyone unfamiliar

https://sabotmedia.noblogs.org/the-server-called-paranoia-defend-autistici-inventati-before-september-25/

[A/I] are against fascism and bigotry.

There you have it, that's the definition of terrorism in America in 2026

Iirc AI designed their systems to be decentralized

They're Italian and run servers all over the world outside the jurisdiction of the US executive branch.

If they're down, I assume it's temporary. Anyway, noblogs had a list of other tech collectives on their website. You can surely load it on way back machine

Wtf...they are putting these guys in the same bin as daesh and alqaeda...terrorism means nothing anymore. (probably the actual terrorists feel insulted)

Their website and mailing server has been taken down

FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK it has happened. Only yesterday most DNS services allowed it.
Now even OpenNIC blocks it.

I've been relying on autistici.org for years.

whois autistici.org  
...  
Domain Status: serverHold https://icann.org/epp#serverHold

Check out these links, it's bad:

serverHold https://icann.org/epp#serverHold
clientTransferProhibited https://icann.org/epp#clientTransferProhibited
serverTransferProhibited https://icann.org/epp#serverTransferProhibited
serverUpdateProhibited https://icann.org/epp#serverUpdateProhibited

And most importantly
https://icann.org/wicf/

I wonder which complaint type is the correct one here?

...wait what all the form links -except the first one - resolve to my.site.com. WTF

In addition to A/I, other groups have also been designated as "global far-left terrorists", like the UK-based Palestine Action (who are against supplying arms to Israel and their genocide in Gaza)

It's really BS how they're considered a "terrorist group" while real terrorist groups like the IDF continue killing innocent people

RiseUp, MayFirst, and Tutanota come to mind

Fascist never liked criticism.

If the domain name gets taken down, (hopefully) there's still a server listening from an IP address somewhere. In this case, it's possible to do the following (using the IP address as the domain for the URL, accompanied by a custom Host HTTP header pointing to autistici.org, noblogs.org and subdomains; notice this will require ignoring SSL certificate errors as the A/I certificates don't contain the IP addresses as valid SANs). This way, A/I can even migrate their hosting to a VPS somewhere unreachable by USA and they don't even need the Domain name, given, of course, the nginx configuration stays the same (i.e. using the subdomain aliases to point to all the different blogs hosted thereby) as well as the technical requirement from users to inject a custom Host header into a direct IP URL.

The IP address from the screenshot is both from my dig noblogs.org through my local Brazilian ISP, and also from the status page from kuma.accol.li. If anyone still got working DNS resolutions for Autistici/Inventati servers, write down the IP address (use, for example, dig or even curl to get the IP address for their domains) before said domains stop being solved by the DNS server you use.

!nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Their domain got taken down, not their services.

Any country that uses the dollar is seen by the American government as subordinate to them. They will use that to pursue political goals.

autistici.org is down in the EU, their domain name does not exist anymore. how did they do that? surely they didn't use a USA based registrar.

inventati.org seems to be up for now

The official statement linked here claims some actual violent terrorists used the services to coordinate attacks ….

Of course it also lists antifa and cop city protesters among them

Riseup email? They provide email and forums for politically active people.

I read their announcement a few days back, where they emphasized their ability to bring services, when taken down, back up pretty quickly. I am not involved in that space, and i am pretty sure that it will be a lot harder to restore services under these circumstances, but are you sure they won't come back up? They seemed very motivated to brace this storm, even if only to create a testament regarding overcompliance of business entities.
