Was there some sort of assurance that nothing was going to happen when the contract expired, and this expectation was changed? Freenom hasn’t been registering domains since Jan 1.

It’s seeming a little odd to me that this is catching people with their pants down.

Actually, I think it’s amusingly perfect that the tankies were hyperfocused on conjectural threats posed by capitalists and entirely missed the much more imminent threat posed by a government.

From wikipedia

Tankie is a pejorative label for communists and those who align with Marxism–Leninism ideology. More generally, the term “tankie” has been applied for those who express support for one-party socialist republics that are associated with Marxism–Leninism, whether contemporary or historical.

They usually praise communism and ignore the flaws and horrible practices of things like the U.S.S.R

A tankie is a communist who at least defends and often advocates for forced submission to their rule, or more broadly defends the authoritarian regimes that engage in such. It dates back to the USSR sending in tanks to crush an uprising in Hungary in 1956, and was applied to the UK communists who argued in support of the USSR.

The owners of lemmy.ml are tankies.

lemmygrad.com is just a redirect to exploding-heads.com which is just another extremist instance at the other end of the spectrem.

According to this comment, looks like it should be defederated anyhow

That comment actually makes it look more to me like nothing needs to be done. If it’s just a redirect there shouldn’t be anything on activitypub for lemmygrad.com, and the Nazi instance was the first one I defederated. At least, that’s how I understand it I could be wrong.
