Whenever I come across a new lemmy instance, it most likely has some sort of obscure TLD (.world, .ml, .ee, .me, .social just to name a few). Why aren’t there more with more common TLDs?
More desirable domains available and significantly lower costs are a couple of reasons that come to mind…
newer tlds are cheaper and you can get cooler names
Because we can.
Surely you mean
Because ICANN
Yes, your way is better. Take my begrudging upvote.
I’m going to guess cost plays at least some part. Obscure TLDs are usually cheaper.
I’m surprised there aren’t more .app/.dev given Porkbun is giving them out for free.
Are they? How?
Thanks, I checked on the website directly and didn’t see that offer!
I was just looking for a funny name and came up with waste-of.space
It is 3x more expensive than a .be (my countries TLD) but I like it.
You’d have to come up with a pun that’s ends in be to change, and that’s just not OK :D
Waste-of.be just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
