Another reason to not use ccTLDs.
If the Taliban take over Australia I’ve got bigger issues to worry about than my domain name.
that's why australia has their army of spiders
God help us all if we have to break out the Emus
What alternatives are there? Just the big .org, .com, .net ones?
There are tons.
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

Something like what I wrote in my other comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/6698854
Just use
.netor so. Or make it dependent on where you host, so.fior.deor.usor whatever. TLDs aren't just for lulz, and getting specific country ones just for "funny" combinations just leads to stuff like this happening.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.
