Never give up the domain. I’ve let several go that I wish I still had. They only get more valuable, like real estate.
RIP stinkfist.org
Can someone please validate my decision to pay $23 a year for this dumb corndog.social domain just so I had something fun for my Lemmy instance.
I haven’t felt this targeted in some time.
Delete this. Now.

I finally added at least something to puter.group. It had almost been a year.
(OH MY GOD, SO MANY MORE. This must be the ADHD thing…)
Buying a nice domain and it actually being used is such a good feeling
$1/month isn’t bad though.
Just 3.3 cents per day seems pretty reasonable
Altneratively: You’re spending that $12 to register a well known corporate site that just changed domains and their old domain is up for sale.
You buy the old domain, throw up a site that looks like the old site, and now you have hundreds of thousands of people using your site as though it was the real one and any information they put in the site is yours.

You can take stronk.bond from my cold dead hands.
Honestly even if I did I’d preserve the page as is, beautiful
Whats on there? I just get an access denied message.
It’s literally all I wanted to do when I saw the .bond TLD came up for registration.
Oddly it doesn’t load in Firefox but works fine in Chrome. Firefox shows this error:
Ah, I wonder if it’s something with the Wasabi S3 hosting. I’ll check into it.
I don’t like this post.
Plot twist:
Private equity buys your registrar and jacks up the renewal price 5x.
Double-twist-back: it’s not under a special TLD, so you can transfer it to another registrar.
If you don’t, you’ll pay a lot more to get it back if you ever want to
Why you gotta do this to me
