Am I Crazy or is the Mali Government Reclaiming the ml Domain Now is too Convenient of a Time?
lemmy.fmhy.ml is down because of this, and lemmy.ml (which is one of the largest lemmy instance) might be next.
Is this a conspiracy?
A conspiracy to do what? Take down Lemmy? I swear people here overstate our importance. This is a comparatively tiny website.
Wasn’t the contract ending causing the domain control to transfer to Mali known for quite a while?
No, that’s just the consequence of choosing a cheap domain name.
I don’t think it’s about lemmy.
This is so incredibly stupid… People who leak national secrets because they can’t be trusted to check their URL’s and/or email addresses shouldn’t be allowed to use those same communication methods.
People who use internet attached email to send classified information shouldn’t be allowed near classified information.

Nation TLDs are used pretty frequently and this is really never the outcome.
My instance is .uk, many places use .gg or .io, ironically all of those are British
sigh, no its not a conspiracy. Lemmy is just a little speck on the internet right now.
They are taking it down because they always gave out .ml domains for free. Like just buy a domain, gosh. They only cost like £10 a year
