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

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.

    I think we really need a .docx. Why not do all of the classic office file extensions?

    .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

    .gov and .mil should disappear. The US can use .gov.us like any other country.

    .fedi seems obvious given where we are.

    .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!

    .antifa and .profa so we don't have to guess where the company/project/person/etc. stands.

    .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 take the old ones back from for profits, put them in the hands of a non-profit and keep them at a sensible price. All this land speculation is bullshit and contributes no value to domain users - its all a get rich scheme for a small number of insiders.

    .crimes for cataloguing the crimes of the corresponding websites. E.g microsoft.crimes or x.crimes or whitehouse.crimes
