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. 💪 💜

Ahh, makes more sense.
Are there any other domains that could be in a similar situation now?
At the time you get .ml free, .TK, .GA, .CF, .GQ were also available for free (they ended up all being used by spam advertisers, so those domains get marked ‘suspicious’ a lot)
Niue is trying to wrangle control of .nu form Sweden, so I’m a little worried. It’s been ongoing for years though.
