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
.crimesfor cataloguing the crimes of the corresponding websites. E.gmicrosoft.crimesorx.crimesorwhitehouse.crimesI got ideas.
.moon / .nasa / .usa / .cali
you can check if domain is tld here https://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt
.fedi seems obvious given where we are.
.clam
- .md
- .tar
- .gz
- .iso
- .lnk
- .txt
- .exe
- .mp4
- .mp3
- .jpg
- .png
I want to watch the world burn like it did on the creation of the .zip TLD
.md already exists for Moldova
Linux shebang logic looking pretty genius.
.crom
Crom.crom
… It offers nothing.
Also .slash, because chaos must reign.
Ohh!
How about .— for all the LLMs to create their own deepweb on?
We can just call the realworld version of the Blackwall the EmWall, fittingly more stupid and annoyingly named than anything in actual cyberpunk, as seems to be the writing style for our timeline.
I would vote for .slash just so we can get slashdot.slash.
No, it’s slash dot dot slash, but one of them is a period, and ones a backslash
Hmm…a troll domain.
“httpscolonslashslashslashdotdotslash”
.antifa and .profa so we don’t have to guess where the company/project/person/etc. stands.
Unless the domain registry is going to research each and every applicant, you’ll still have to guess. I own a .uk domain despite never having visited
UkraineUnited Kingdom.Edit: not sure why I was confused about the .UK TLD, fixed.
.uk is the cctld for the United Kingdom. Ukraine uses .ua
I have no idea why I got that stuck in my head wrong. Still, my point stands, anyone can buy any domain at any time. Ownership of a domain implies nothing.
*whooosh*
Care to explain? Anyone can buy any domain, and host anything they want on it. Domains don’t guarantee anything.
It wasn’t serious. Just like .dot or .slop it’s more a joke than a serious suggestion. You wouldn’t seriously expect “AI” companies to dutifully buy .slop domains for their nonsense. Just like I wouldn’t seriously expect right wing parties, companies that support them or are “apolitical” or “undecided” to buy .profa domains.
But it would be lovely of them.
I 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?
.slop ?
Microsoft should be the owner of the slop domain.
.dot
I’d love to have dot.dot.
.slash
.backslash
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
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.
I think we really need a
.docx. Why not do all of the classic office file extensions?Ruin windows search even more? I like your thinking
We have .com but where are .exe and .bat?
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
.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!
.er is already the country code for Eritrea
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
.fart because decades of growing up haven’t quite cured my potty humor.
Finally can register
