@pixelfed Do what you have to do of course, but .com means it's a commercial service and afaik Pixelfed is not. Therefore .social or .net or .org are more suitable.

@aroom @joenepraat @pixelfed thatβs what .com was meant to be over a quarter century ago, and it would be nice had that stuck, but it lost that distinction long ago for most folks, unfortunately @sbm It still is. Open source projects are mostly not using a .com domain. One of the options to turn the tide of people using commercial services is to use the proper terminology. Of course you can do a redirect and than saying to people: 'you came here via great-fedi-project.com, but we are non-commercial, so we redirected you to great-fedi-project.org'. @sbm @joenepraat @pixelfed well .com domain and .social are quite different though .social is less confusing in my opinion for a social network. Edit: that being said I welcome a new instance. I think that itβs really good to avoid big instances. |
