I suspect they skipped checking who controls that domain at the time and just saw that it would make for a good name. Not good practice but I can see how that happened.
The only shame here is that there is no way for an instance to "prove" it is the successor to a defunct domain.
A lot of Lemmy and Mastadon instances have really obnoxious names. I hope they learn from this as use a conventional domain/TLD, and not some random ass countries who could get taken away at any minute.
Is my instance in danger? 😱 Will Luxembourg disappear overnight?
We are ready to reunite Luxembourg any day now, better get ready to move to the be tld.
You mean fr?
No, of course not
