this happens with pretty much every domain that lapses. the domain is still out there, it doesn't go away, it just goes into a sort of "holding pattern" until someone decides to buy it again. and usually said holding pattern is some bullshit ad site to try and make a bit of money of a corpse.
I think it's their registrars doing, per their registrars docs it's still "recoverable" for 60 days or something after expiration date, but they can redirect DNS whenever they want
Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.
