After lemmy.fmhy.ml shut down due to Mali just withdrawing all domains without notice, their new site never quite got the same traction as the old one, and it seems the technical issues kept piling up as well, including a catastrophic failure of a VM or something I think.

Today it seems their admins decided to throw in the towel, and are migrating to the divisions by zero as their primary home.

      Yeah it’s a government so there’s probably many other, better reasons to hate it

      Sure, but honestly using a country’s domain for content that is obviously not legal is not a smart move either.

      I had my original account on the ml domain but refrained from registering with the new server, glad I did. Migrating all subscriptions is quite annoying, there are tools for that now, I know, but they did not exist when fmhy.ml went down.

      Hate them? No. Dislike and disagree with? Absolutely.

      Imagine if for instance, a regulatory body just decided to pull the plug on all .com addresses. No warning, no info, just poof.

      A TLD arbitrarily being pulled is extremely concerning.
