    Afghanistan is sitting in a gold mine thanks to an acronym.

      And apparently is too homophobic to collect.

        They’re happy to collect. Queer.af stopped paying the bill so that money wasn’t going to the taliban.

          Oh really? Funny how no one is mentioning this. I’m sure the Taliban is as homophobic as a group can be but this act may just be financial then.

            the domain was set to expire in April and was intentionally not being renewed because gestures vaguely at everything

            people knew this was coming at some point. the surprising part was that it happened now from the orders of the registry as opposed to in April.

            announcements were made and the instance was already in it’s death bed for a while, this isn’t like the fmhy/mali situation with things happening out of the blue.
