  • Yeah, that’s another core issue. The provider of the .ml domains is being sued by Meta for cybersquatting, and it also has gotten in trouble with ICANN before too. So it was in trouble, even if the Mali hadn’t done what they did. And their actions make sense too in taht context, that’s a lot of potential revenue for Mali in offering .ml domains, much like Tuvalu did with .tv domains.

    Also yeah, in most circles it would mean Machine Learning. The Lemmy devs aren’t that… Just for reference, pawb.social is de-federated from the devs other major instance, Lemmygrad.ml, because of their actions there. I can’t speak for fmhy.ml, but I saw it got hit with the same issues due to the .ml domain. They are on a .net now, iirc.






  • Fantastic!!! I didn’t even think of this, but this is an excellent idea.

    I’m starting work on what I hope to make a browser extension to automatically connect back to your primary instance of choice if you visit another instance. Doing so cause I got tired of having it be that I’d visit an instance (like from the Rust subreddit) and not have it be linked to here so I can follow stuff. I’ll have it be a user can set their primary instance, then when they visit another one, they can easily have it connect back properly so they can follow communities and interact there.

    (Apologies if that sounded confusing… I’m still not sure on all the verbage for the Fediverse. Hopefully it’ll make sense when I release it x3 )


  • Heh, I can’t actually see what it says cause of the blackout, though I saw they were considering abandoning Reddit entirely (albeit with Discord mentioned as the main go-to, which doesn’t seem like the best choice…).

    Given Lemmy is written in Rust, it really would be fitting if they spun up their own instance to create a new community. Heck, it would actually be beneficial to them, as having a central Rust instance would allow for multiple sub-communities for different topics, such as help requests, project showoffs, memes, etc. That would be amazing to see, if it actually happens.
