The admin stated they won’t be renewing the domain because .af is now controlled by the Taliban.

Could we, like, leave the clickbait headlines to reddit? Thanks. The queer.af admins just decided – wisely – not to renew the domain considering who the fee would go to.
It was pretty clickbaity but damn I did laugh
So the Taliban being in control of the .af domain. Made the admins not to renew the instance. To put in away, “The instance has been killed by the Taliban.”.
No. The instance being killed by the taliban is the opposite of that is happening here.
The taliban has done nothing, in this case. The admins of the instance have chosen not to keep the instance due to not wanting to fund the taliban in anyway.
This phrasing fucks up which way the action flows, which is important for a headline to get right to remain accurate to the story. Does that make sense?
Nope. That’s extremely misleading.
No. The Admins killed the Instance.
Nah the admins killed the instance before the Taliban could at best, kill it, at worse proxy it and gather information.
Seriously gaining control of a domain can allow you to do pretty nefarious things.
