FMHY instance keeps going down

FMHY has been down for a couple of days, can't seem to find any discussion on this

Check !fediverse@lemmy.ml for more information, but the tldr is; Mali is forcibly taking back .ml domain. Lemmy.ml is likely in danger too.
- I heard it isn't. Or at least not as much, because lemmy.ml is a paid domain.
  
  Every domain is paid. But if you bought it from an authorized reseller who's authorization is revoked, you're still screwed. Mali is the true owner of all registered domains in its country.
  
  Wait, this can't be, because the current line is that .ml doesn't stand for "marxist-leninist" as they claimed 2y ago, instead now in a post by desantis or desalinator (whatever his name is) it says they chose .ml because it was "free" and "buying them [domains] feels like acquiescing to the digital enclosure of the commons."
  
  So, is it free or paid?
This explains the downtime.
- Thank you! Been having trouble finding the details.
- So is FMHY still accessible on other instances?
  
  Believe this is cached copies held by your local instance. When federation drops you can still see comments proliferate between anyone federated with you also on the outside, just like with beehaw.
  
  Not an expert so I hope someone corrects me if I'm wrong.
It's going to be down for longer than that. They've already said they are attempting to migrate all data to a new domain.
