What's the context?

Malaysia decided to take their .ml ball and go home. Not clear on the full details why but they nabbed the name for at least one lemmy server as their own.

*Mali not Malaysia, crows are not known for their geigraphical border recognition.

U mean Mali?

This explains why my access has been shit. I just gave up on my preferred instance fmhy.ml , now on world. Wish there was a way to transfer accounts rather than having to start all over again.

Probably because the US has been pissing away military secrets to .ml instead of .mil domains for years

Oh what's one letter in the grand scheme of internet addressing?

Didn't catch the full story on it, was there some kind of 'stop parking you military stuff on our national domain' issue?

No idea didn’t read into too far. Likely the US rolled up to mali and was like yo, you’re our bitch for the next 3 years
