Comment on Welp that answers a lot of why all .ml are down
redcalcium@c.calciumlabs.com 1 year agoA while ago Libya suddenly requires all companies that use .ly domain to have a presence in Libya it have their domain reclaimed by the government. bit.ly (and other internet startups that use .ly domains back then) suddenly found themselves in a precarious position. It was pretty hilarious as .ly TLD was hip back then.

I’ve never felt that country TLDs were worth using and this has only cemented that opinion for me

It was doubly hilarious when the US was at war with Libya, yet the white house spokesperson and us politicians were still tweeting using bit.ly and ow.ly url shorteners.
