Am I Crazy or is the Mali Government Reclaiming the ml Domain Now is too Convenient of a Time?
lemmy.fmhy.ml is down because of this, and lemmy.ml (which is one of the largest lemmy instance) might be next.
Is this a conspiracy?
A conspiracy to do what? Take down Lemmy? I swear people here overstate our importance. This is a comparatively tiny website.
Wasn’t the contract ending causing the domain control to transfer to Mali known for quite a while?
No, that’s just the consequence of choosing a cheap domain name.
I don’t think it’s about lemmy.
This is so incredibly stupid… People who leak national secrets because they can’t be trusted to check their URL’s and/or email addresses shouldn’t be allowed to use those same communication methods.
People who use internet attached email to send classified information shouldn’t be allowed near classified information.
Am I crazy but is using a domain typically used by any government a really stupid idea in the first place?
I get that it was free or cheap, but come on, nobody saw this coming?
Nation TLDs are used pretty frequently and this is really never the outcome.
