i hate it when my fedi instance goes down because the domain name got revoked by the FUCKING TALIBAN
Silly question, but exactly how bad is the loss of the domain name for an instance, on a scale from "every connected instance has to refederate to the new domain" to "instance is toast due to broken auth/certs/etc."?
i'm not certain but cursory research doesn't turn up much specific other than a general impression that It's Fucked and putting it on a new domain breaks all relations (follows, etc)
As I recall the instance was already getting wound down on account of renewing the domain would be funding the Taliban, but users thought they still had a few months left to migrate to new instances.
I think it might be slightly better now?—another friend lost their personal domain but I’m still transparently following their new account.
Edit: I was wrong that friend was actually also on queer.af. So I have seen two people I know successfully migrate after the fact, keeping their follows/following. It looks like the old posts are all gone from feeds though.
yeah, and they instance still has the user account emails so they can notify
is it bad I read this in hbomberguy's "sell them to who Ben? Fuckling Aquaman?" voice
