Just use queeraf.net or so. Or make it dependent on where you host, so queeraf.fi or .de or .us or whatever. TLDs aren’t just for lulz, and getting specific country ones just for “funny” combinations just leads to stuff like this happening.

radix@lemm.ee 11 months agoWhat alternatives are there? Just the big .org, .com, .net ones?

No need to limit yourself to US tld’s, country ones for funny domains can be stable as well. My domain koffie.nu (coffee.now in Dutch), registered in '98, is still going strong. I just hope the rising sealevel won’t wipe away the country any time soon.

So many now, it’s opened up to at least like 100 or more words now.

DNS engineer here: it’s the bane of my existence. Vanity TLDs were a cash grab for ICANN. They have made defensive domains a nightmare

Nope. The ones you’re mentioned are gTLD (generic top-level domain) but most of the other domains are generic TLD too. See here for the list: en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_Internet_top-level_dom…
Just don’t use country-code TLDs because they can removed by those countries. For example fmhy.ml and now queer.af.
