The admin stated they won’t be renewing the domain because .af is now controlled by the Taliban.

If you’re on the country code, you open yourself up to risk. ml has been a risk before.
Your headline is misleading though. Taliban didn’t kill it. Admin did.
Such a heinous click bait, I’m inclined to down vote the post. Definitely misleading af.
If the Taliban never got control of the .af domain in the first place. The Admin would have renew it. So the Taliban did kill it.
Well, they run Afghanistan and af is the country code. They picked a domain that they thought was cute, funny or clever and didn’t consider longevity or risk. It’s on them. If I make a website. I won’t pick a silly extension that won’t survive long.
They could get a .ck domain instead and move to queer.as.fu.ck, no?
New domain name proposal:
Why would you want to use
.afTLD anyway?They almost certainly picked it just for the joke.
queer.af = Queer AF = Queer as fuck!
It’s like how popular the TLD of Guernsey (.gg) is with gaming websites.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t even realize what country code the TLD was when they registered it.
Same with Twitch.tv, the .tv apparently being the country code for Tuvala.

Booooo misleading title
Could we, like, leave the clickbait headlines to reddit? Thanks. The queer.af admins just decided – wisely – not to renew the domain considering who the fee would go to.

So the Taliban being in control of the .af domain. Made the admins not to renew the instance. To put in away, “The instance has been killed by the Taliban.”.
No. The Admins killed the Instance.
Nope. That’s extremely misleading.
No. The instance being killed by the taliban is the opposite of that is happening here.
The taliban has done nothing, in this case. The admins of the instance have chosen not to keep the instance due to not wanting to fund the taliban in anyway.
This phrasing fucks up which way the action flows, which is important for a headline to get right to remain accurate to the story. Does that make sense?
Reading that headline scared me. For a moment I thought the instance owner was killed by the Taliban.
What a bad taste title
Another reason to not use ccTLDs.
If the Taliban take over Australia I’ve got bigger issues to worry about than my domain name.
that’s why australia has their army of spiders
God help us all if we have to break out the Emus
