@ntoskrnl bloody pirates stole our tld

@ntoskrnl abolish icann

@ntoskrnl@furry.engineer start our own DNS root network, then we can have any TLDs

@ntoskrnl They know what many of us would do with it.

@ntoskrnl y'all do know that dns only works because we agree to it, right? You could hijack .fox anywhere you have control of zone files.

@ntoskrnl ew, TIL that brand TLDs are a thing, and I hate it

@ntoskrnl So what you’re saying is whatdoesthe.foxsay is a perfectly valid domain name?

@ntoskrnl when did fox merge with disney. what the apocalyptic fuck

@ntoskrnl Try developing a clone of the world wide web, that should fix the problem

@ntoskrnl@furry.engineer https://wiki.opennic.org/opennic/creating_new_tlds (abolish icann)

@ntoskrnl
Jokes on you I'll create many fox TLDs on my host file

@ntoskrnl What the _fuck_

https://icannwiki.org/.fox

@ntoskrnl Biden should register as being in their heads rent free is 'association'

@ntoskrnl NAHHH, everyone should have the right to get a .fox domain name

@ntoskrnl@furry.engineer I thought you have to be a fox to register .fox domain

@ntoskrnl@furry.engineer this is bullshit

@ntoskrnl maaaan I didn't know this was a thing and now I'm mad about it

@ntoskrnl Ewww. .fox domain names for Fox Television Network is about the lamest idea ever....

@ntoskrnl 🦊 I feel like there should be some "common word" rule here but, money is more important than any law or common sense

@ntoskrnl kind of reminds me of the .amazon TLD. Amazon (the company) registered it. Countries around the Amazon river complained, but this complaint was eventually overturned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.amazon

@ntoskrnl
FIRST:
You MUST be a fascist
with a note from your Dr!
(NOT, Ronny Johnson, Jackson, or otherwise!)

@ntoskrnl if this is a commercial TLD, they have the right to. I belive you can just pay to open a custom TLD. Go for it :akko_derp:

@ntoskrnl One more reason not to trust any non-traditional TLD. There are just the wrong people messing around with them.

@ntoskrnl @volpeon on the flip side, it’s probably for the best that .bbc is restricted to the British Broadcasting Corporation.

@ntoskrnl On the bright side, that makes blocking *.fox very effective...

@ntoskrnl This is why we need to build our own DNS networks. I'm also so tired of whoever is in charge of it now.

@ntoskrnl@furry.engineer Firefox will sign a sponsoring contract with Disney. You heard it here first

@ntoskrnl wait, does this mean that both Fox News and 20C Fox can register there?

@ntoskrnl I don’t like ICANN ….

@ntoskrnl

Fox/Disney ‘family’…shudder

@ntoskrnl as a consolation I can offer subdomains on 🦊.it.com, only downside is mastodon idn support is buggy

@ntoskrnl@furry.engineer 99% of the time the corporations don't even use their custom TLDs anyway

@ntoskrnl The worst part in my opinion is that they dont even seem to use the TLD publically. All of us are barres from using it, just cuz they might be using that top level domain in their intranet. Evil.

@ntoskrnl That's ridiculous! One company shouldn't be allowed to control a whole tld. I guess noone's challenged that in court

@ntoskrnl Fut the Whuck?!?

@ntoskrnl discovered this a couple of years back, when my ex was looking get a domain name and asked if .fox was available.

Was an interesting rabbit hole to go down

#PostOfTheMonth:
If the pairing seems unexpected, it’s anything but. Rupert Murdoch, who created the Fox Broadcasting Company, runs News Corp., the media entity that in turn controls HarperCollins.

In a statement, Fox Media CEO Suzanne Scott wrote that Fox News Books will cater to the news corporation’s audience, bringing them “more of the compelling stories they’ve come to rely on Fox News Media personalities to deliver.”
