@spv@mastodon.spv.sh @jacqueline@chaos.social @RnDanger@infosec.exchange @jacqueline@chaos.social Some folks set up a fediverse instance on the domain queer.af. They intended it to mean "queer as fuck." The problem is that the ".af" top-level domain actually stands for "Afghanistan," not "as fuck."

The admins decided to shut the instance down instead.
