(not a joke, they seized the domain name).
Honestly, why would you host a service like that under the Afghani TLD, knowing fully well what kind of country Afghanistan is these days?
“Shut down by the Taliban”, sure, because you handed them the switch to shut down for no good reason.
Most people don’t think of countries when they see TLDs like AF. Most people wouldn’t think .tv stands for Tuvalu.
Most don’t know but the one who bought it would, although they probably did it anyway cause it looks cool. Same happened with fmhy but I am guessing the reasoning for that was the cost.
Many people who buy domains don’t know, because many domains are so ubiquitous. Another good example most buyers don’t know is the “.io”
Because the .af is funny. They likely knew it would get shut down eventually.
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.
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
.ck
is a valid TLD, but apparently you can only get second-level domain names. If that weren’t the case, you could getqueer.asfu.ck
I love that the first example on that page is .co.ck
This feels underutilized.
Holy shit,
nice.co.ck
could 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:
- MyHuge — A workout supplement company.
- BigFat — Weight management coaching company.
- The Blackest — A company specializing in black inks and paints.
- PlayWithMy — Goods exchange company focused on trading video games and toys.
- Please Suck — Vacuum manufacturer.
Domains considered profane will not be considered on any level, and the application will be dissolved with the applicant being notified, and future requests for the same domain name will be ignored. ‘.ck’ domains are monitored on the web, on a regular basis for profanity on the Internet if it is found to be doing so, or if the site is deemed inappropriate, the domain will be terminated without notification or refun

What is up with that last sentence? It reads like !ihadastroke@lemm.ee
Another alternative would be to use .uk (there’s already a lemmyf.uk)
There are some wild ones in there… imagine amazon.amazon
Don’t the Taliban fuck young boys?
Only as many as god allows them
So a lot
Yes, but their balls don’t touch, so it’s not queer.
I . . . did not have that on my bingo card
Time to swap to queer.fr
Afghanistan is sitting in a gold mine thanks to an acronym.
And apparently is too homophobic to collect.
Shocking
“If anyone is going to own Queer.af, it’s going to be us, mister.”
