lemmyshmemmy, Maybe they can help us out and take down Lemmygrad while they’re at it
Aux, I guess their pro-Russian military junta has the same interests as lemmygrad.
RagingNerdoholic, I can understand why refederation needs to be done manually, but I’m confused as to why transferring users and histories is a maybe. Web and database hosting are mutually exclusive from domain hosting/registration.
marsara9, With ActivityPub all of the primary ids contain the domain of the hosting server. So if you lose your domain none of the other instances know that you’re the authority on those communities, posts, comments or users. So essentially federation breaks with all of the old data.
Kerrigor, That seems really dumb given the technical aspects as well as the purpose of domains.
maegul, Just like email right?
MeowdyPardner, Same issue is why mastodon needs your origin server to be online to migrate to a new server. In both cases, federating a public key for the server or accounts would allow either to pop up at a new domain and prove it has the authority to migrate links to the new location.
Bombastic, Is this because of the DoD typo leaks? Lol
Chozo, I wouldn't be surprised. That was a pretty major mistake, so I was already kind of expecting there to be some changes with the .ml TLD. Didn't expect this, though.
Blamemeta, No, just the contract ended

14th_cylon, changeover provoked the leak.
that is nonsense. the leak was there before the change, but after the change consequences of the leak could be more dangerous.
oh, you mean leak as in public knowledge of the problem and i am talking about the leak caused be emails ending up in wrong hands.
BrownianMotion, It was quite hard to find any information on this, so I will post what I found.

That second link is less relevant but interesting.
popekingjoe, Ah well that would explain why I couldn’t join some community on one of those that popped in the new communities community a few days ago.
RIP.
