Do you have ideas for TLDs? Here's some of mine, not sure if any of these exist already:

  • .plus
  • .now
  • .ent (short for enterprise)
  • .one
  • .er (for domain hacks, don't get any ideas)
  • .db
  • .source

I want to watch the world burn like it did on the creation of the .zip TLD

    .ope : for all your midwestern typo needs
    .doom : all domains registered in this TLD must have a playable version of Doom somewhere on the site
    .ram : about as price effective as buying actual RAM rn. I call dibs on more.ram so I can have a downloads page at download.more.ram

    I think we really need a .docx. Why not do all of the classic office file extensions?

    I believe more Tlds is generally stupid. But instead of all the protect the children bullshit, I'd be good with a .kids tld that requires certification to own. Then you can just whitelist that for your precious crotch goblins and leave the rest of us alone.

    That's a good suggestion, but unfortunately age verification is not about protecting the kids, it's about removing anonymity from online platforms and making sure that we can't exercise our right to speech online without risking government harassment.

    Oh yeah and the advertisers don't want to pay to advertise to bots.

    The idea would be to provide a "protect the kids" alternative that doesn't require global surveillance and privacy violations, so the next time they try to justify another rights violation to "protect the kids" they can be pointed to the sane alternative, and (hopefully) they'll run out of excuses.

    I mean, one would wish it'll play out like that, though I have some doubts. Somehow excuses seem to be always found.

    .gov and .mil should disappear. The US can use .gov.us like any other country.

    Honestly it is pretty silly it's still like that. Are the subdomains enforced in other countries?

    The other option is expand .gov .mil for all UN nations and enforce country sub domains (ie .us.gov and .md.gov).

    .er .db

    All two letter TLDs are exclusive to countries. So unless you make a country called Ergostan and Dbaseistan and get them internationally recognised you are out of luck. However, if you manage you don't have to pay the fee!

    .antifa and .profa so we don't have to guess where the company/project/person/etc. stands.

    Unless the domain registry is going to research each and every applicant, you'll still have to guess. I own a .uk domain despite never having visited Ukraine United Kingdom.

    Edit: not sure why I was confused about the .UK TLD, fixed.

    Care to explain? Anyone can buy any domain, and host anything they want on it. Domains don't guarantee anything.

    It wasn't serious. Just like .dot or .slop it's more a joke than a serious suggestion. You wouldn't seriously expect "AI" companies to dutifully buy .slop domains for their nonsense. Just like I wouldn't seriously expect right wing parties, companies that support them or are "apolitical" or "undecided" to buy .profa domains.
    But it would be lovely of them.

    Actually, you’re on to something there; have the TLD represent the license agreement to access ANYTHING served over it.

    I would take the old ones back from for profits, put them in the hands of a non-profit and keep them at a sensible price. All this land speculation is bullshit and contributes no value to domain users - its all a get rich scheme for a small number of insiders.

    .crom

    Crom.crom

    ... It offers nothing.

    Also .slash, because chaos must reign.

    Ohh!

    How about .— for all the LLMs to create their own deepweb on?

    We can just call the realworld version of the Blackwall the EmWall, fittingly more stupid and annoyingly named than anything in actual cyberpunk, as seems to be the writing style for our timeline.

    I would vote for .slash just so we can get slashdot.slash.

    .crimes for cataloguing the crimes of the corresponding websites. E.g microsoft.crimes or x.crimes or whitehouse.crimes

    I would again recommend that anyone doing online marketing and/or tracking be legally confined to the .COM TLD. Severe penalties for corporate abuse would include removal of all internet access. Less severe penalties might include a confiscation of double of all profits made outside of .COM during a deliberate infraction.

    There would be no cost for any TLD's outside of .COM; all regulation and legal costs to be paid-for by .COM - users.

    Yeah, .ent would not be primarily registered by enterprises…

    .one exists

    Why not remove gTLDs altogether? With the exception of country-specific TLDs, they no longer serve a purpose.

    Adding all of these worthless extensions that nobody uses just exposes how pointless the whole system is.

    It’s important to note that two letter domains are generally reserved for country codes and would require a country for them to be provisioned.
