Telegram's t.me domain went serverHold the same day OFAC sanctioned a channel at t.me/FirstVPNService. Here is what serverHold means

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.
