Thanks to these new TLDs I can have an @national.shitposting.agency email address.

What a time to be alive.

They seem to work, and I am able to browse various web sites using them.

The new ones won’t catch on so it doesn’t bother me that much. We should be grateful that the enshittification isn’t faster when it comes to URLs

Personally, the childish side of me will always get a kick out of .wtf in a website name.

I despise the current system where ICANN lets you slap anything you want on the end of your domain. It means it’s easier to fake a company landing page and it’s a cash grab from an organization that’s supposed to be a non profit. The original domain hierarchy created easily recognizable structure where now it’s just anarchy.

Medicare.com (and their tv commercials) was a good example of misleading people. Some cities and states are using .com sites when they should be using .gov.

The only new TLDs I find useful are .blog and .tv (for streaming sites, not Transylvania). And not many sites are using those.

I’m somewhere in the middle on it. Like mentioned elsewhere, some of it feels like it’s just to generate additional business around domain registration while companies buy up duplicates to prevent spoofing. Also “.zip” is a fucking travesty.
