Canadian servers? what do you mean? fedidb does not show server location to me
You're correct.
The A record for the domain name
maga.place
resolves to216.144.226.200
, which is under the 216.144.226.0/24 prefix of AS36352 (HostPapa). The prefix being used is registered tomadgenius.com
, which is a hosting provider registered in the United States. Curiously, that provider even has their own ASN (AS55154) that's not being used here.It's also a shared IP address. The address itself resolves to
suportefiscal.aptosclinica.com.br.
when you perform a reverse lookup.As for the domain name itself, a quick whois lookup points to Namecheap. The MX records corroborate this, pointing to
registrar-servers.com
.In any case, the server itself is hosted in Virginia. The hosting provider used is an American company either owned by or reselling services from a Canadian company.
This is a 1-day-old account and they also said "Lemmy is Canadian", so I'm presuming that they think that defederation means to remove this like it were a community.
Although even so they aren't wrong: federation with Lemmy.ca means to help spread their messages using Canadian servers:-).
