    Could we, like, leave the clickbait headlines to reddit? Thanks. The queer.af admins just decided – wisely – not to renew the domain considering who the fee would go to.

    Reading that headline scared me. For a moment I thought the instance owner was killed by the Taliban.

      If the Taliban take over Australia I’ve got bigger issues to worry about than my domain name.

      What alternatives are there? Just the big .org, .com, .net ones?

        Just use .net or so. Or make it dependent on where you host, so .fi or .de or .us or whatever. TLDs aren’t just for lulz, and getting specific country ones just for “funny” combinations just leads to stuff like this happening.

          No need to limit yourself to US tld’s, country ones for funny domains can be stable as well. My domain koffie.nu (coffee.now in Dutch), registered in '98, is still going strong. I just hope the rising sealevel won’t wipe away the country any time soon.
