@pixelfed why not .org? Since it's not commercial software, or is it?

@gmate8 @pixelfed Hmm I didn't have too much trouble joining pixelfed.social back in the day, shouln't be too complicated right now I guess?

@gmate8 We are using .org for our project website already, it's not commercial but when non tech savvy people think about website urls, .com is the most commonly known, so we think it's a good fit and we're not using it currently.

@pixelfed you could make the website for pixelfed "joinpixelfed.org" and the instance "pixelfed.org". How about giving a go this way?

@pixelfed and there are plenty of popular websites / services using .org just like Wikipedia(.org)! It's the most known online encyclopedia and almost the most know website of all time after Google. I think it should be memorable, and creating pixelfed.com could hurt the whole Pixelfed project, because those, who understand what it means, would assume it's commercial, and overall it'd create false information about Pixelfed and the Fediverse. Don't do misinfo, please.
