Queer.af mastodon instance has been shut down by the Taliban (not a joke, they seized the domain name).

@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?
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.
yea found a fix by someone else as well

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.
