lemmy.fmhy.ml is gone [update from the team] (very.bignutty.xyz)

An update:

fmhy.ml is gone, due to the ongoing fiasco with mali government taking all their .ml domains back
As such, lemmy.fmhy.ml is also gone, we are currently exploring ways to refederate (or somehow restart federation entirely) without breaking anything substantial
We have backups, so don't worry about data loss (you can view them on other instances anyway)

Currently, we have fmhy.net and are exploring options to somehow migrate, thank you for your patience.

Is Mali gov just removing all DNS records without warning?
No respect for existing contracts, or at least some heads up a couple of months earlier.

Governments just love doing stuff whenever they can, because what are you gonna do? This is a country under a military junta, there is no legal process to get back the domain.

They just handed off the management of .ml domains to a third party on a ten-year contract, and the contract is now ending.

So I guess Mali is honouring its contracts, and I doubt the third party provided anyone with contracts going beyond the ten year period they could guarantee for. I doubt the third party provided contracts at all to be honest.

Freenom (the third party in question) has been pretty shady for years. I got burned with their free .tk names a few times back in the day.
