Is there information about this situation with Mali government about ml domains? I cannot find anything about it.

Though apparently some ml domain receives a lot of accidental US military emails :).

Basically Mali took management of it back off Frenom.

I've found several articles similar to this, but transfer of management of a TLD from one registrar to another generally shouldn't result in breakage of registered domains. And nothing in that article (nor any of the others I've found) suggest that Mali plans not to honor existing registrations (which all expire eventually anyway, so they have an orderly way to reclaim things by refusing renewal if they wish).

There's more going on here that hasn't been reported (or that I haven't found) yet.

Another comment links an older article about freenom (the registrar that is having .ML taken away) losing .ga previously and a plan to delete millions of .ga domains that were being used for abuse. Presumably the .ML situation is another abuse cleanup, though I can't find confirmation.

That then leaves the question of whether the Lemmy instance that went down was correctly flagged for abuse (I heard it was focused on piracy?) or whether an appeal could get it back for them.
