   no centralised social network could ever produce "the taliban deleted my account". that's a mastodon special.

     @jacqueline That's a fedi special. "Lol /etc/hosts doesn't work" is the Mastodon special twist

     @jacqueline no, but centralized social networks can produce “I was sentenced to death thanks to the site's owners”

     @mary @jacqueline The mastodon server queer.af had to shut down because they used the ccTLD of Afghanistan, which is now administered by the Taliban, and they're cracking down on queer stuff.

     @k @jacqueline Where can I look for the context? Was the thing related to the domain being from AF?

     @CharismaticBatman@theres.life @jacqueline@chaos.social @RnDanger@infosec.exchange @jacqueline@chaos.social Some folks set up a fediverse instance on the domain queer.af. They intended it to mean "queer as fuck." The problem is that the ".af" top-level domain actually stands for "Afghanistan," not "as fuck." The Taliban was recently given control of the ".af" TLD, so if the admins of queer.af wanted to renew their domain they would have had to pay money to the Taliban, and the instance would be under Afghan law. The admins decided to shut the instance down instead.
