Queer.af mastodon instance has been shut down by the Taliban (not a joke, they seized the domain name).

I’m surprised they even attempted to use that domain. The instance still exists and will need to be routed through a new domain. Which, again sucks, because any reference links will be broken now… which… again… has me wondering why they even went with that domain in the first place. Albeit, it was a clever use of a top level. I wonder how many others are doing the same.
To the people who are like “What did you expect to happen when you picked a .af domain, are you idiots?”
Yes, we were aware of the possibility of suspension from the start
Yes, we were aware that political circumstances could change
But thumbing your nose at conservative autocrats as an even minor form of protest is fun
In the end pretty much everyone has migrated out successfully (and I’ll continue to help anyone who remains)
We’ve all gotten a fun story out of this
I’ve been signalling the probable demise of queer.af to my followers for the past year. We knew the end was coming; we just anticipated it to take a little longer
Sucks, but makes sense.
