Nope. That’s extremely misleading.
Comment on queer.af, a Mastodon instance, has been killed by the Taliban
hal_5700X@lemmy.world 11 months agoThe queer.af admins just decided – wisely – not to renew the domain considering who the fee would go to.
So the Taliban being in control of the .af domain. Made the admins not to renew the instance. To put in away, “The instance has been killed by the Taliban.”.

No. The Admins killed the Instance.

No. The instance being killed by the taliban is the opposite of that is happening here.
The taliban has done nothing, in this case. The admins of the instance have chosen not to keep the instance due to not wanting to fund the taliban in anyway.
This phrasing fucks up which way the action flows, which is important for a headline to get right to remain accurate to the story. Does that make sense?
