insanity. it almost undercuts everything they do.

i think it makes perfect sense if you understand what telegram is and which country it benefits

Since when did registars care about the political positions of its clients? They could have registered on cloudflare or namecheap and I doubt they'd bat an eye. Telegram is mainstream enough that nobody is going to cancel them, unlike kiwi farms or 4chan.

.is might be a choice, since archive.is continues to be available despite many legal threats You don't have to be an Icelandic national to register a .is

.is is a very resilient TLD indeed, and it's well known in some communities.

how about .to? that's what i'm mainly using for my url shortener/redirects and haven't run into any issues... yet

I can't believe they use GoDaddy as a registrar.

Clue me in? Is GoDaddy particularly censorial as a registrar?

GoDaddy is just a general clusterfuck of arbitrary decisions. I don't have anything ready offhand to point to, but the general consensus is that you should avoid GoDaddy pretty vehemently.

I think you also misunderstood, they are suggesting OP redirect to a telegram domain that isn't on the .me TLD, as the other .me is potentially at risk of also being taken down.

fair enough -- dunno what domains telegram uses

telegram.dog

It's a pretty good heuristic if some of the more targeted communities choose a TLD and stay up for some time.

This makes a huge presumption of rock solid stability of political/economic system, that America is not going the direction of a banana republic, in terms of graft, corruption and patronage, which it certainly seems to be these days.
