That’s why you don’t use ccTLDs for vanity domains. The only ccTLD you should ever use is your own country TLD, otherwise stick with gTLDs, ideally .com or .net.
Does Mastodon have an features to transition domain names? It seems it's be useful to have a configurable backup that the system pushes out that can also be used if the primary is unavailable. Ideally with a way to inform federated systems of the switch
Not a joke, the TLD was .af. As reported by Kevin Beaumont <a href="https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/111918422459442548" rel="nofollow">https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/111918422459442548</a>
