Queer.af mastodon instance has been shut down by the Taliban (not a joke, they seized the domain name).

I don’t think they could do anything about it. As far as I know, Mastodon doesn’t support any kind of instance renaming, so the hostname is one thing you cannot change. You can only spin up a completely new instance.
I thought they’d already shut down. Renaming isn’t an option, but you can at least direct your users to the new instance.
I figured they would have almost instantly gone read only and prepared the self destruction. But I guess they just closed off registration and set the self destruct pretty far out.
