lemmy.fmhy.ml is down because of this, and lemmy.ml (which is one of the largest lemmy instance) might be next.

Is this a conspiracy?

      It has happened before with the .ly domains about a year before the US invasion of Libya. Tech companies were scrambling to find a solution back then. Presumably they struck a backroom deal with the Syrian government.
