lemmy.fmhy.net is shutting down (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

After lemmy.fmhy.ml shut down due to Mali just withdrawing all domains without notice, their new site never quite got the same traction as the old one, and it seems the technical issues kept piling up as well, including a catastrophic failure of a VM or something I think.

Today it seems their admins decided to throw in the towel, and are migrating to the divisions by zero as their primary home.

That's quite the rough ride, ouch. At least they're safe on dbzer0 shores now 🏴‍☠️ welcome to our new crewmates!

For a second I thought it was dbzer0 that was going down, thank God.

Good to see they join you!

Really sucks that they had to take down their instance because of domain name issues, though hopefully they can establish themselves and their communities better on here.

Talk about a rough ride indeed! That's not an easy decision to make so I'm sure they tried everything to not let it come to this..

A stupid reason to hate Mali govt 😐

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago

Yeah it's a government so there's probably many other, better reasons to hate it

Sure, but honestly using a country's domain for content that is obviously not legal is not a smart move either.

I had my original account on the ml domain but refrained from registering with the new server, glad I did. Migrating all subscriptions is quite annoying, there are tools for that now, I know, but they did not exist when fmhy.ml went down.

Hate them? No. Dislike and disagree with? Absolutely.

Imagine if for instance, a regulatory body just decided to pull the plug on all .com addresses. No warning, no info, just poof.

A TLD arbitrarily being pulled is extremely concerning.

It wasn’t without notice

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 years ago

the .ml gave notice? where? From what I heard, it came to a surprise to people.
