Telegram’s t.me short-link domain has been placed into serverHold status at the registry level, causing invite links, channel links, and usernames to stop resolving globally. Unlike an application outage, a serverHold status removes a domain from DNS resolution entirely, making it effectively disappear from the Internet until the status is lifted
Update: serverHold status has been removed from t.me after Telegram removed the sanctioned company’s channel. t.me links are all working now.
