The admin stated they won’t be renewing the domain because .af is now controlled by the Taliban.

Another reason to not use ccTLDs.

.io is the British Indian ocean’s territory, probably not really a risk i doubt anything’s going to happen there.

Better to just setup your own ccTLD, for maximum trust.
(honestly only half joking)

I’m sure Google didn’t buy those for the purpose of actually using them, but rather to prevent someone else from registering and using them.
What alternatives are there? Just the big .org, .com, .net ones?
There are tons.
So many now, it’s opened up to at least like 100 or more words now.
DNS engineer here: it’s the bane of my existence. Vanity TLDs were a cash grab for ICANN. They have made defensive domains a nightmare
I want to know more
Something like what I wrote in my other comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/6698854
Just use
.netor so. Or make it dependent on where you host, so.fior.deor.usor whatever. TLDs aren’t just for lulz, and getting specific country ones just for “funny” combinations just leads to stuff like this happening.No need to limit yourself to US tld’s, country ones for funny domains can be stable as well. My domain koffie.nu (coffee.now in Dutch), registered in '98, is still going strong. I just hope the rising sealevel won’t wipe away the country any time soon.
Lies
If the Taliban take over Australia I’ve got bigger issues to worry about than my domain name.
