Another win for the decentralized Fediverse when a government domain takeback can’t shut it down!
Mali has decided to take back .ml from people who took advantage of the free domain like fmhy.ml & maybe lemmy.ml - https://lemmy.world/post/1915581
And while it sucks for those servers & those users may have to migrate, the #Fediverse and it’s plethora of platforms continues on. 💪 💜

Pretty sure they went with .ml not for price reasons, but because they liked to pretend it stood for their political ideology.
They stated themselves that it was for price reasons.
Maybe. I read the idea about it standing for Marxist/Leninist, but there’s thousands of TLDs now - if you can get .diamonds and .world, there’s probably something that would evoke the same lefty idea (although maybe lemmy pre-dates the new domains, I don’t know)
