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.
Correct, I also read that the .ml addresses were free, but in hindsight this downtime is a bigger cost to bear than the $10/year or whatever it would cost to properly pay for a domain.
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.”
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.

That’s not entirely true. .ml domains we’re being given away for free.
The company giving them away is being sued.

I 100% agree with that.

So, is it free or paid?
