For a second I thought it was dbzer0 that was going down, thank God.
Good to see they join you!
Really sucks that they had to take down their instance because of domain name issues, though hopefully they can establish themselves and their communities better on here.
Talk about a rough ride indeed! That's not an easy decision to make so I'm sure they tried everything to not let it come to this..
A stupid reason to hate Mali govt ๐
Yeah it's a government so there's probably many other, better reasons to hate it
Sure, but honestly using a country's domain for content that is obviously not legal is not a smart move either.
I had my original account on the ml domain but refrained from registering with the new server, glad I did. Migrating all subscriptions is quite annoying, there are tools for that now, I know, but they did not exist when fmhy.ml went down.
Hate them? No. Dislike and disagree with? Absolutely.
Imagine if for instance, a regulatory body just decided to pull the plug on all .com addresses. No warning, no info, just poof.
A TLD arbitrarily being pulled is extremely concerning.
It wasnโt without notice
the .ml gave notice? where? From what I heard, it came to a surprise to people.
