    Reading that headline scared me. For a moment I thought the instance owner was killed by the Taliban.

    Could we, like, leave the clickbait headlines to reddit? Thanks. The 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 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?

    If you’re on the country code, you open yourself up to risk. ml has been a risk before.

    Your headline is misleading though. Taliban didn’t kill it. Admin did.
