⚡️‼️ NEW - Telegram's core t[.]me domain has been placed on serverHold at the .me registry, a registry-level status that drops it from DNS worldwide and dead-ends every t[.]me link. Domain records show the change happened today, with no public explanation yet from Telegram, the .me registry, or backend operator Identity Digital.

Another lesson to not use domains, or at least a single one. How many warnings would like to ignore? Governments are attacking privacy. What do you need to start acting? Do you need to get shot or beaten?

This was always the disaster waiting to happen with the DNS setup. Alone 12 root server operators mainly residing in the US, what could ever go rough.
What should I use, while still keeping my service reachable by any user? Domains are bad, but the alternatives require technical expertise and aren’t accessible to just anyone. The good thing is that if you don’t need a website and just something that points to your server, you can do this without relying on centralized domains, because you can embed a network resolver or run a proxy.
