Was there some sort of assurance that nothing was going to happen when the contract expired, and this expectation was changed? Freenom hasn't been registering domains since Jan 1.

It's seeming a little odd to me that this is catching people with their pants down.

For anyone looking for alternatives, I think this list is the most up to date: https://free-for.life/#/?id=domains

That is a dangerous host name, none of those things are free for life at all

I just realized your username is emojis... I'm surprised that's possible.

Its their display name that is emojis, I haven't actually tried registering a username of emojis on Lemmy but I suspect you can't since each time I've seen emojis it was a display name instead.
