From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's federated, so one can setup whatever instance they want on whatever domain they want.
If the admin feels ".wtf" is edge, cool. If someone else believe it's NSFW or wouldn't help promote the cause, they can setup another instance on another domain. If the content itself is federated, they might share that link instead.
Yeah I know all that, but for whatever reason this dumbass domain seems to be the only one I ever see. Personally I'm all in favor of having a respectable ,canonical domain for newbies and occasional users, but this one is not going to cut it.
Then post some PeerTube videos yourself from whatever PeerTube domain you wanna see lol
I just thought it was funny. Don’t know what’s juvenile about “wtf” though. Unless you’re an old fart.
Avatar checks out.
