Are you sure? It does not for me. Although I am using my distro's release of Firefox. I will be trying it on my windows pc with the official FF release later.

Sure. Maybe your ISP is blocking the domain or something.

I can access it with my ISP, I can also access it with NextDNS (over DoH) and 8.8.8.8. My friends also reproduced my results from their machines.

Can you run dig @1.1.1.1 cock.li just in case?

That command runs fine. No errors.

Dig does not throw an error when it does not get a result, instead you get an output like this:

    ;; Got answer:
    ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 49352

In contrast with a successful run like

    ;; global options: +cmd
    ;; Got answer:
    ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 21996
