Mastodon instance Queer.af is shutting down because the country that provides the domain is now ruled by the Taliban.

When registering a country code domain, keep in mind where the domain is being registered. A shift in government or geopolitics can have serious consequences.

      Anything with “free speech” in its name looks really shady these days

        i get it, but this is not a new brand.

        its a solid, local team of linux geeks that wanted pay-per-use service. it shows in their interface, i love it.

        ive been with them for over 15 years. i chose them because they were one of the first to outright say “we wont do shit without a court order”

        or you could, ya know, trust the taliban. for some reason.

      Normally I don’t really appreciate hosting suggestions as most of them are pretty similar, but this looks really interesting and I’ll definitely take a look at them.
