@erincandescent And that's why you don't choose a TLD because it's "fun". I mean, sorry, but "queer.af" was a trolling attempt to begin with, and what happens is about as surprising as the sun rising in the east...
@lewiscowles1986@erincandescent A TLD is a domain under the authority of a country and .af is the TLD of Afghanistan. Come on - registering that domain with the fucking Taliban of all possible people is trolling. I like it. But I would never have assumed that this domain would exist long enough to be useful for anything.
@zappes@erincandescent
Afghanistan as it exists for the past few decades was a fairly liberal paradise just a few decades ago. Hope is not the worst problem when it comes to very cheap domain names.
Perhaps if they worried more about their children and heroin problems and less about the love-lives of strangers, using two-letter domains, they might enjoy increased tourist revenues as they once did.
