   To the people who are like “What did you expect to happen when you picked a .af domain, are you idiots?”

   • Yes, we were aware of the possibility of suspension from the start
   • Yes, we were aware that political circumstances could change
   • But thumbing your nose at conservative autocrats as an even minor form of protest is fun
   • In the end pretty much everyone has migrated out successfully (and I’ll continue to help anyone who remains)
   • We’ve all gotten a fun story out of this

   I’ve been signalling the probable demise of queer.af to my followers for the past year. We knew the end was coming; we just anticipated it to take a little longer

   So long; it was fun while it lasted.

     @erincandescent also, if people took a moment to think, there are all kinds of reasons domains can be unavailable to you.

     Ask people in the UK who had .eu domain names…
