The headline is misleading. The Taliban did not shut down queer.af. The team behind the instance decided to move away from the domain so as to not support the Taliban through domain fees. Source: https://wedistribute.org/2024/01/queer-af-is-shutting-down-due-to-taliban/

The article explains that, yes, they did plan to move...in April. The Taliban government did, in fact, shut them down ahead of that schedule.
