The t.me domain used by Telegram has been suspended

The t.me domain, widely used by Telegram for short links, invitations to chats and channels, and also for the web version of the messenger, has been suspended. The news drew considerable attention from users of the Hacker News platform, where the discussion gathered more than 200 votes and over a hundred and fifty comments.

The t.me domain belongs to the island state of Montenegro, which uses the national domain zone .me, and for many years now it has been associated first and foremost with Telegram. A suspension of a domain on this scale could potentially affect the operation of numerous services, links and features built into the messenger.

At the time of publication, the exact reasons for the domain's suspension have not been disclosed. No official statements from Telegram or the domain's registrar have been forthcoming either.

The situation surrounding t.me will become clearer as additional information comes in.
