Is there any more info available here? I’m somewhat surprised to hear (and Google doesn’t seem to have any results for) a TLD seizing a domain outright. I could see a shitty registrar (GoDaddy or whatever) doing so, however.

Google "XYZ serverHold", it's a common problem apparently.

Oh wild, seems that registry is super obnoxious. 🤦‍♂️

When in doubt, use .org for infra domains, always.

Ah, yea, okay, .xyz gets used by spammers a *ton* so I think they did this to fix their spam problem (lots of people just block *.xyz these days), but what a terrible idea…

Noted. I never thought about TLDs being owned by a bad registrar
