Mastodon instance Queer.af is shutting down because the country that provides the domain is now ruled by the Taliban.

When registering a country code domain, keep in mind where the domain is being registered. A shift in government or geopolitics can have serious consequences.

    People, think about the implications of a TLD before choosing your domain. Look up the organization that controls it and their restrictions on using it. Basic-ass research.

    This headlines been out there for a week or so and every time I see it, seems like the taliban is after the admins or something. But it’s just about domain name.

    Hey weren’t we having a problem with .ml? Did that ever get sorted?
