Comment on Queer.af mastodon instance has been shut down by the Taliban
anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months agoThat’s not how it works… the .af domain is reserved for use by Afganistan by ICANN and the government of Afganistan is the Taliban. Same with the commies on .ml which is reserved for Malaysia.

Everything else correct. But ml is actually Mali. my is Malaysia.

Dammit. The whole thing is basically absurd though because these letters mean fuckall in Afghanistan, Mali, and Malaysia and I think URLs can even have unicode now, though idk about tlds

To be fair, I didn't know ml was Mali, I had to look that up. But I did know Malaysia was my, which was what prompted me to look ml up.
