Because the .af is funny. They likely knew it would get shut down eventually.
yup: https://akko.erincandescent.net/objects/478dec04-ea38-44b4-8b85-2336306f8fd5
Domain names do not need to be only 3 letters long.
queer.asfuck would be legitimate too or queer.assfuck if you want to
Neither of those are valid TLDs.
To be a bit pedantic about it, they are perfectly valid, they just don't exist.
To be even more pedantic, if it's not a resolvable TLD, then it is invalid.
Fair enough lol.
I don't think that's a valid TLD though. You'd need to pick from one of those: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/tlds-2012-02-25-en
You've never heard of the proud nation of Asfuckington?
London, Paris and Berlin all have their own TLDs, .london, .paris and .berlin respectively. Only the Austrian village of ~~Fucking~~ Fugging doesn't have its own TLD yet.
.ckis a valid TLD, but apparently you can only get second-level domain names. If that weren't the case, you could getqueer.asfu.ckI love that the first example on that page is .co.ck
This feels underutilized.
What is up with that last sentence? It reads like [email protected]
Basically just the punctuation that makes it read bad. But it's news to me that profanity is forbidden on the internet.
Holy shit,
nice.co.ckcould be yours for $586/two years: https://shop.gandi.net/en/domain/suggest?search=nice.co.ck&tld=ck. I guess you'd need to create a company called Nice and have it recognized by Cook IslandsIt might be hard to register a business named "Nice" in 2024 since it's a really generic word. Instead, try:
Another alternative would be to use .uk (there's already a lemmyf.uk)
There are some wild ones in there... imagine amazon.amazon
