This gives you time to transfer your account to another server.

They did close the website, in effect. They stopped its domain name working, which they can do because all domain names run through infrastructure in the US (which obviously needs to change).

That is true of anything on the internet, unfortunately. I did a thread on my other account asking for suggestions on what to do about it: https://social.chinwag.org/@FediThing/117207114164163762

If a government want’s to close anyones server they simply can block the ip dress, or i’m a wrong? What just happend is that ordered the closing of a website in italy. The start of more to follow. If not be fighting it back, all websites and servers that are not liked by trump could face this turn on them.
