Another win for the decentralized Fediverse when a government domain takeback can’t shut it down!

Mali has decided to take back .ml from people who took advantage of the free domain like fmhy.ml & maybe lemmy.ml - https://lemmy.world/post/1915581

And while it sucks for those servers & those users may have to migrate, the #Fediverse and it’s plethora of platforms continues on. 💪 💜

@Chozo @fediverse disagree. It’s another argument for decentralization that 1 entity taking down another entity doesn’t take down the whole system.

If the US seized Reddit.com today, the whole site would just be gone. Poof!

The US could seize 1000 servers today and yet the Fediverse would continue on.

i don’t think you understand how domains work.

I could also get hot by lightning there times a day but I don’t optimize for it. This is a lol and definitely points back to how shitty personal servers may be. I for one hope a .org starts a monitizartion scheme, deals with the privacy issues this community blatantly ignores, and hires some professionals who actually know what they are doing.

If lemmy.world went down, so would most of Lemmy, so this is already a huge problem.

@renwillis The Fediverse is more than just the collective network. It’s also the individual communities, some of which no longer exist right now. Those communities are now scrambling to figure out what to do.

Yes, the whole of the Fediverse is just fine. But the overall health of the Fediverse relies heavily on the health of individual communities.
