    I was going to opine about how “this is the problem with centralized cloud-based providers, at the drop of a hat they can be acquired and suddenly your content is owned by a company you wanted nothing to do with,” but then again, you chose Google as your domain provider. I think that’s your fault.

    I’d usually say the solution is to self host whenever a cloud provider has a shitshow like this, but in this case that’s not viable unless you want to go all the way up to becoming your own domain registrar or making your own top-level domain. Symptom that maybe the domain name system is broken, maybe we should campaign for it to be opened up for anyone to register their own domain, or least have a reputable co-op or community-owned domain registrar.
