Do you have ideas for TLDs? Here’s some of mine, not sure if any of these exist already:
- .plus
- .now
- .ent (short for enterprise)
- .one
- .er (for domain hacks, don’t get any ideas)
- .db
- .source

2 monthsI believe more Tlds is generally stupid. But instead of all the protect the children bullshit, I’d be good with a .kids tld that requires certification to own. Then you can just whitelist that for your precious crotch goblins and leave the rest of us alone.

That’s a good suggestion, but unfortunately age verification is not about protecting the kids, it’s about removing anonymity from online platforms and making sure that we can’t exercise our right to speech online without risking government harassment.
Oh yeah and the advertisers don’t want to pay to advertise to bots.

The idea would be to provide a “protect the kids” alternative that doesn’t require global surveillance and privacy violations, so the next time they try to justify another rights violation to “protect the kids” they can be pointed to the sane alternative, and (hopefully) they’ll run out of excuses.
I mean, one would wish it’ll play out like that, though I have some doubts. Somehow excuses seem to be always found.

They’ll just start using the other classic excuse of “preventing terrorism” instead in the case that “protect the children” no longer works.
If you’re against mass surveillance, you must be pro-terrorism, right?

I want to watch the world burn like it did on the creation of the .zip TLD

I think we really need a
.docx. Why not do all of the classic office file extensions?We also have .zip but no .rar, .ace, .gz, .bz, .7z, .xz or even .tar.

Ah, man, I would give so much to register autoexec.bat lol
.ope: for all your midwestern typo needs
.doom: all domains registered in this TLD must have a playable version of Doom somewhere on the site
.ram: about as price effective as buying actual RAM rn. I call dibs on more.ram so I can have a downloads page at download.more.ram- .hell
- .nope
- .bruh
- .con (to be used exclusively for scams)
- .duck
- .dot

I’d pick going back to .edu, .gov, .mil, .com, .org, .net — and actually enforcing their meanings. None of this cash grab bullshit where a company has to buy the TLD for their company name over and over.
.gov and .mil should disappear. The US can use .gov.us like any other country.

Honestly it is pretty silly it’s still like that. Are the subdomains enforced in other countries?
The other option is expand .gov .mil for all UN nations and enforce country sub domains (ie .us.gov and .md.gov).

Italy used to have .gov.it and all Comune could register their own, but now only the central government can use gov.it
- fruitycoder@sh.itjust.worksEnglish2 months
I think I’m biased towards .it.gov as an option because then you could have smaller orgs of a country fall under it

i think we’re pretty much past that era, honestly.

.er .db
All two letter TLDs are exclusive to countries. So unless you make a country called Ergostan and Dbaseistan and get them internationally recognised you are out of luck. However, if you manage you don’t have to pay the fee!
- Scrollone@feddit.itEnglish2 months
Damn, if colonies were still a thing, Italy would be the empire of domain hacks, with .it, .er and .so
Edit: before you think I’m pro-colonization, my post was just a historically accurate joke

I was more concerned about slurs of the XBox Live circa 2010 variety
