    That’s wild! But also not surprising?

    Seriously it’s like no one knows how to use the internet (erm, to learn about teh innernets).

    When in doubt, Wikipedia.

    This is why we host our instance on a .org. Honestly another huge blow for Lemmy. It doesn’t really inspire confidence in the platform. Hopefully after enough time passes smaller instances like us and the bigger ones left will have help up a good track record to inspire confidence again.

      It’s not a huge blow for Lemmy, I barely notice I’m not on Reddit anymore. I realize there are small niche subs that they don’t have here, but that’s not where Reddit makes their money anyway. People keep trying to ddos Lemmy, that alone should tell you that it’s a threat.

      It was my main instance 💀

        Mine too…

        Now it’s pawb.social. I wanted .social instance and this was the first in awesome-lemmy-instances repo on GitHub.

        Yep. Annoying I don’t even remember all my subs etc.

      it was my main instance literally like 2 weeks until this happened

    Could they not just go with “.mali” as their governtal extension? It’s only two more characters. Why mess with all of the existing .ml stuff on the internet?

      The country codes are an ISO standard. IANA uses these for country TLDs, they don’t set the standard.

      This was all done decades ago…

    Ah well that would explain why I couldn’t join some community on one of those that popped in the new communities community a few days ago.

    RIP.

    Fortunately, we’re probably all from this instance, so I assume that we are safe.

    I just had to do this to get back on here… Does anyone know if there is a way to transfer posts like it says here?

    • BarterClub@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      They would have to. We can move our stuff

    So as far as the content of what was on that server goes, does it just go away as far as the broader Fediverse, or how does that work?

  • Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    yet another example of why activitypub is kind of a terrible protocol for a platform like this.

        Why do you assume i’m saying it should be centralized? My annoyance is literally that it’s too centralized!

        source
    • palitu@lemmy.perthchat.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Why? I don’t quite see the relationship between losing access to a domain, and it being uniquely bad for activitypub.

      source
      • Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Because it means losing access to the content unless the operators go through the ardous process of moving to another domain, whereas with the matrix protocol the content would remain perfectly available and the only thing that happens when a server has domain issues is that the accounts and specific room alias become unusable.

        XMPP has the same issue because it also relies on one central server to host a room, whereas with matrix ALL involved servers replicate the room which means that there is no central server to go down, which is just objectively better for things like chats and forums.

      Do you have a better protocol in mind, or any fixes that could be made to make ActivityPub better?

      source
      • ianonavy@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        The AT protocol that Bluesky runs on is designed to address this specific limitation of ActivityPub.

        source
      • Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Yes, the matrix protocol is very mature and perfectly suited for forums.
