Switching to db0 - Divisions by zero
lemmy.dbzer0.com
#### https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/freemediaheckyeah [https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/freemediaheckyeah] Sorry if this is disappointing to any of you, but we have so few members here now, and so much stuff is still broken, that we don’t feel as though continuing is worth it. However, /r/Piracy has their own Lemmy, and everything is working well on it, so we’re going to start directing people there instead, as they share our same values and goals. Thanks for the support guys and again I am sorry this didn’t work out. We wanted it to, but it just didn’t.

After lemmy.fmhy.ml shut down due to Mali just withdrawing all domains without notice, their new site never quite got the same traction as the old one, and it seems the technical issues kept piling up as well, including a catastrophic failure of a VM or something I think.

Today it seems their admins decided to throw in the towel, and are migrating to the divisions by zero as their primary home.

      Yeah it’s a government so there’s probably many other, better reasons to hate it

      Sure, but honestly using a country’s domain for content that is obviously not legal is not a smart move either.

      I had my original account on the ml domain but refrained from registering with the new server, glad I did. Migrating all subscriptions is quite annoying, there are tools for that now, I know, but they did not exist when fmhy.ml went down.

      Hate them? No. Dislike and disagree with? Absolutely.

      Imagine if for instance, a regulatory body just decided to pull the plug on all .com addresses. No warning, no info, just poof.

      A TLD arbitrarily being pulled is extremely concerning.
