Do not use 2 letter country TLDs!
People have been using country TLDs as cute URLs for years, and somehow it almost always ends up as a problem, or it furthers harms against the countries who own the TLDs (.io for example). Sure .tv or .io or .af sound fun, (anyone remember del.icio.us?) but it’s just not worth it.
There are other reasons for choosing certain TLD’s. I remember back when, the .tk domain was very popular, because it was completely free.
And because of that .tk ccTLD is completely disreputable now. Everyone and their mother had one back in the day, which included all the spammers/phishers and their mothers. Now no one trusts .tk domains. Or at least they shouldn’t!
Remember goatse.cx ?

Almost always? I have some strong doubts about that. It’s just that you don’t see articles about “Nothing is particularly going wrong with redd.it”
The headline is misleading. The Taliban did not shut down queer.af. The team behind the instance decided to move away from the domain so as to not support the Taliban through domain fees. Source: https://wedistribute.org/2024/01/queer-af-is-shutting-down-due-to-taliban/
The article explains that, yes, they did plan to move…in April. The Taliban government did, in fact, shut them down ahead of that schedule.
Why not use two letter country tlds? I have a few .uk ones.
