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.

Couldn't have happened to a worse bunch of people lol
Yep, I'd just like to say fuck communists and let's keep the Fediverse away from communist politics' bullshit.
Communists are only about a partial shit-tier above Nazis. Both are in the tiers of shit, shit birds of a feather.
lol no

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?

yet another example of why activitypub is kind of a terrible protocol for a platform like this.
Why? I don't quite see the relationship between losing access to a domain, and it being uniquely bad for activitypub.
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?
Yes, the matrix protocol is very mature and perfectly suited for forums.
