Porkbun LLC is a DNS registrar, so maybe somebody didn't pay their bill?

Well, not being owned by a profit-driven evil stab-us-in-the-back company going IPO has advantages and disadvantages :-(

How bad could the bill have been? Was there any prior mention of server costs/donations before this?

I don't think it is a payment issue. At least in Brazil (where I live), a registration (which can be done directly with the .br registrar, not necessarily third parties) costs less than 10 USD a year.

vlemmy.net was registered less than 2 months ago, for 5 years. I suppose (hope) it was already paid for 5 years.

it's strange that it's parked at a dynamic dns service though
