(not a joke, they seized the domain name).

    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 get queer.asfu.ck

            Another alternative would be to use .uk (there’s already a lemmyf.uk)

            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 Islands

                It 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

                  Basically just the punctuation that makes it read bad. But it’s news to me that profanity is forbidden on the internet.
