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.

Actually, I think it's amusingly perfect that the tankies were hyperfocused on conjectural threats posed by capitalists and entirely missed the much more imminent threat posed by a government.

What is a tankie? First time I’m seeing it today.

From wikipedia

Tankie is a pejorative label for communists and those who align with Marxism–Leninism ideology. More generally, the term "tankie" has been applied for those who express support for one-party socialist republics that are associated with Marxism–Leninism, whether contemporary or historical.

They usually praise communism and ignore the flaws and horrible practices of things like the U.S.S.R
