So maybe launching with small-web.org and having small-tech.org is not a good idea after all…
So what are safe TLDs? Is there even such a thing? Any TLDs not controlled by the US in one form or another? Any anti-fascist TLDs?
Hey @EUCommission, maybe this is the sort of thing you should be looking into given all your “digital sovereignty”, talk, hmm? Pretty easy one to fix, this one.
@benjamin@piaille.fr
The domain names of
autistici.org / inventati.org (and noblogs.org) are now suspended.
.org being managed by a US entity they were forced to suspend them due to Autisti (the oldest leftwing Italian collective doing web and mail hosting) being declared a terrorist organisation by Trump
Even for WikiLeaks they didn't do that
The US are clearly a fascist state now....
And all your links to your blogs are now dead 😭🥴
(Editing so everyone knows: maybe not. They were dead a few hours ago but not anymore)
(subedit: autistici.org still dead, the other are fine for now)
@EUCommission To answer my own question, if you’re not a fascist in the EU, consider registering a TLD from a non-US registry with no ICAAN registry contact:
EU/EEA ccTLD registries (non-US operators, no ICANN registry contract):
• .de – DENIC eG, Frankfurt (cooperative)
• .nl – SIDN, Arnhem (foundation)
• .fr, .re, .yt, .pm, .tf, .wf – AFNIC, France
• .eu – EURid, Brussels
• .be – DNS Belgium
• .at – nic.at, Vienna
• .cz – CZ.NIC, Prague
• .pl – NASK, Warsaw (state research institute)
• .se, .nu – Internetstiftelsen, Sweden
• .dk – Punktum dk
• .fi – Traficom (Finnish state agency)
• .it – Registro.it / IIT-CNR, Pisa
• .es – Red.es (public body)
• .pt – DNS.PT
• .ie – IE Domain Registry
• .gr, .ελ – ICS-FORTH, Crete
• .hu – ISZT · .ro – ICI Bucharest · .bg – Register.BG · .hr – CARNET · .si – Arnes · .sk – SK-NIC (owned by UK-listed Team Internet) · .lu – Restena · .lv, .lt, .ee, .cy, .mt – national academic/foundation registries
Nearby non-EU, non-US: .is (ISNIC, Iceland)
It’s also important to use non-US payment systems like SEPA, Aero, national payment systems – iDEAL (NL), Bancontact (BE), Blik (PL), Bizum (ES), MB Way (PT), Swish (SE), MobilePay (DK/FI)) – or non-proof-of-work (because environment) cryptocurrencies.
If you have any other suggestions, etc., please reply to the thread.
Right, except that .eu seems to have changed to contract-based.
