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
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.
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.
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
There are some wild ones in there… imagine amazon.amazon
.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.
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:
What is up with that last sentence? It reads like !ihadastroke@lemm.ee
Basically just the punctuation that makes it read bad. But it’s news to me that profanity is forbidden on the internet.
Another alternative would be to use .uk (there’s already a lemmyf.uk)
Most people don’t think of countries when they see TLDs like AF. Most people wouldn’t think .tv stands for Tuvalu.

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”
