@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'.

@aroom @pixelfed

@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 it’s really good to avoid big instances.
