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.

eh, they picked the worst registrar imaginable, and the reason most people dont use them happened.

kinda on them, sorry. maybe pick a more solid registrar in a more stable nation state.

my suggest is https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net

Anything with “free speech” in its name looks really shady these days

i get it, but this is not a new brand.

its a solid, local team of linux geeks that wanted pay-per-use service. it shows in their interface, i love it.

ive been with them for over 15 years. i chose them because they were one of the first to outright say "we wont do shit without a court order"

or you could, ya know, trust the taliban. for some reason.

Normally I don’t really appreciate hosting suggestions as most of them are pretty similar, but this looks really interesting and I’ll definitely take a look at them.

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.

Pretty funny that the comment comes from an instance with an .ml domain

Haha, right? I would have brought the issue up if I were in the loop at the time!

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?

So, registering a new domain is too hard for them I guess as is relinking their instance under the new name

Try reading the article.

Changing the domain of an established fedi instance is very difficult, almost to the point of impossibility.
