No, the pull requests are to do with submissions of source code to the core project. The project owner has to review and accept those changes for them to happen (or not).
I am even surprised that the Taliban let someone buy the queer.af domain.
But it's also a cool feature of the federation, an instance is closed by an authoritarian government, tons of others are still there, and migration is easy, so you don't loose you whole network. Still an annoyance for the user, but not as much an annoyance as when a centralized social media closes.
Just because they can take control of the domain doesn't mean they somehow have access to the data any servers that used the domain have. Those servers were, i feel confident, not in Afghanistan. Domains are just redirects, so the Taliban have nothing on any of the users.
Just as an aside: unfortunately some of the Taliban are actually very smart - in an academic sense. Some of them have gone to the best schools and universities our world has to offer… and then decided the dark ages are where we should be. Go figure. But, to clarify, they aren’t all backwards goat herders from the middle of nowhere.
Listening to people like @dessalines, Eugen Rochko and other fediverse developers would be cool! I loved the voice of the friend who emphasizes the "sh"s :)
We actually already have some interviews recorded, it's just that some of the unedited talks are two hours long. But yes, this is something we're actively working on!

I assume you mean Laurens from the Fediverse Report. He's from the Netherlands, and has a wonderful accent and demeanor.
