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. 💪 💜

My work uses zScaler for its Internet web filters. zScaler has everything *.ml blocked.

So yeah, it’s fairly well-known to be sketchy.

.ml is just Mali’s country domain. Maybe your workplace should get a better filter?

Or maybe realising anything ending in .ml was most likely spam and if it caught the 5 legitimate Mali domains oh well, zero loss for anyone.

Kinda like how I wouldn’t download a file from a .ru site.
