I suspect they skipped checking who controls that domain at the time and just saw that it would make for a good name. Not good practice but I can see how that happened.
The only shame here is that there is no way for an instance to "prove" it is the successor to a defunct domain.
A lot of Lemmy and Mastadon instances have really obnoxious names. I hope they learn from this as use a conventional domain/TLD, and not some random ass countries who could get taken away at any minute.
Is my instance in danger? 😱 Will Luxembourg disappear overnight?
You never know when the Luxembourgish taliban will take over.
NOONE EXPECTS THE LUXEMBORGIAN TALIBAN!
The fact that pornhub is HQ’d in Luxembourg leads me to believe this will be some sort of sexy taliban
Stupid sexy Taliban!
We are ready to reunite Luxembourg any day now, better get ready to move to the be tld.
You mean fr?
No, of course not

Ahh. I have several domains and a lot of experience with managing various services, but I'm unfamiliar with any requirements regarding the federation process itself. I imagine this may be challenging, but not impossible to handle. Yet another level of suck in this situation.
