So why is .ml TLD going back to Mali taking everyone by surprise?
Was there some sort of assurance that nothing was going to happen when the contract expired, and this expectation was changed? Freenom hasn't been registering domains since Jan 1.
It's seeming a little odd to me that this is catching people with their pants down.
Its their display name that is emojis, I haven't actually tried registering a username of emojis on Lemmy but I suspect you can't since each time I've seen emojis it was a display name instead.
