:boosts_ok_gay: PSA: queer.af's domain has been seized by the Afghanistan NIC

the domain does not resolve anymore, this means that the website cannot be accessed anymore

(i'm going to contact the admin to help them with allowing users to login still and press "migrate" on their accounts, since i have a feeling thats still possible, as a last-gasp effort of the server)

edit: for manual resolving and pinning, the IP address is 65.108.48.233

edit 2: the admin has a post up where they give more details: akko.erincandescent.net/object

akko.erincandescent.netErin 💽✨ (@erincandescent@erincandescent.net)Hello fellow admins!It would help users migrating from queer.af if you would temporarily add the following to /etc/hosts:65.108.48.233 queer.af The domain was suspended this morning without warning...

For anyone pinning the domain name to an IP address, the IP address is 65.108.48.233

You can verify this with;

curl https://queer.af/ --resolve queer.af:443:65.108.48.233 -v

@ShadowJonathan Instance owners can also add it to their instances' /etc/hosts to allow the server-to-server communication to continue to function during this time.
