@dylanTheDeveloper In hindsight, getting a country domain as your main was not a biggest brain idea.

@SeeJayEmm I hope so, that’s a big miss on Lemmy right now.

Need to be able to migrate accounts & communities ASAP.

@Aurix tell that to google & facebook in China. ;)

@azalty it was free.

@freamon Agreed, it’s a silver lining post, for sure.

But generally I find people say “you see, this is why the Fediverse/Lemmy/Mastodon etc will never take off” for every blip of bad news or whatever. But in reality, while the news sucks for .ml servers, it highlights the resiliency of the Fediverse - which is a win.

And better to happen in the early days of Lemmy than when/if it got much bigger.

@Chozo @fediverse disagree. It’s another argument for decentralization that 1 entity taking down another entity doesn’t take down the whole system.

If the US seized Reddit.com today, the whole site would just be gone. Poof!

The US could seize 1000 servers today and yet the Fediverse would continue on.

@freamon can you imagine if Lemmy (in total) was just *poof* grabbed by a government?

The fediverse lives to ride another day.

@WhoRoger yeah, apparently the company managing the domain, their 10 year contract is up and Mali decided not to renew and brought it in house. https://domainincite.com/28897-freenom-is-losing-another-cctld-after-collecting-military-emails

@Tag365 It’s just their IG verification coming over to Threads.

@natriumchloride @fediverse 💕

@RxBrad agreed, BUT with Threads, you see all these brands & celebrities in your feed even if someone you follow just likes something from them! You get assaulted by corporations!

So very thankful for the Fediverse.

@Wander lolol

@Duchess Saaaame!

@Sanctus oh honey… that boat sailed years ago when I embedded my ass in Instagram for a decade.
