    Right, but if Mali do reclaim all the .ml domains out there then there’s little option? Yes, federation will break for .ml and yes it’ll be like starting over on a fresh instance but only in terms of federation - all the users, communities, posts and comments will still exist, just under a new domain. Once the new domain starts federating people will catch on, especially if the news is posted on the larger instances.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying its not a problem, I’m just not sure its a total disaster either.

      Yes. It doesn’t outright kill an instance, but it’s definitely a major inconvenience and a learning opportunity.
