Ah, af for Afganastan not “as fuck”.
I suppose that depends on your point of view.
Any chance they rebrand to queerasfu.ck?
I think queer.fr would be an awesome domain name too
I mentioned on Mastodon the domain name “queersare.us” (parody of Toys R Us I guess) which actually makes use of the United States’ ccTLD that barely gets used. Someone pointed out to me exactly why that’s the case and it has something to do with scammers.
how many times is this going to get posted
FWIW, this is the first time I’m reading this. I’ll allow it.
As many times as possible because it’s funny af
seizes your comment in taliban
I nearly broke my neck from the double take on that title lol.
As I was reading the title I was fully prepared to see one of the Republican states name in the end
How tf did they seize it? isn’t mastodon instance federated? don’t the admins own it?
Ultimately each country makes the rules for domains under its top level, for those that are named for the country, like .af for Afghanistan. Everything about the instance is intact and can be moved to a different domain.
yea found a fix by someone else as well

@GossiTheDog Since the authoritative name servers still reply; you can also ask the #DNS resolver administrator to forward requests for queer.af to kiki.bunny.net and coco.bunny.net.
did not know they can control domain names,
is it possible to deny them that request? why did maston comply with them?
It’s got nothing to do with Mastodon—it’s the domain name system. If DNS doesn’t direct the request to the intended server, the server never sees it.
That’s not how it works… the .af domain is reserved for use by Afganistan by ICANN and the government of Afganistan is the Taliban. Same with the commies on .ml which is reserved for Malaysia.
