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 Also, some of you were scratching your heads when I mentioned last year that the Small Web will be using web numbers, not domain names.
Maybe it makes a bit more sense now?

PS. If you’re a developer, you can host your web site at a web number (instead of a domain name) today using Auto Encrypt:

PPS. This work is funded by €408/month in donations (no that’s not our only source of income otherwise we would be homeless) but yes, I work full time on this. If you want to see us continue to exist against all odds, here’s the link:

)@mooooooo @EUCommission Yep. About 90% of the challenge is making this stuff usable by everyday people who use technology as an everyday thing. And a huge part of that is trying to make it approachable. Otherwise, all these problems are solved and we can just point people to a few repos on sourcehut and tell them to fire up git and build it all from source. I personally know the three people who do that and they seem quite content :)
