@inventor @siegi @fediversereport But since the owner/administrator of admin.ch is the government, what better way to certify a new service than to make it a service.admin.ch? @Faket @siegi @fediversereport @inventor @siegi @fediversereport So? Are you saying that doing a social.admin.ch subdomain is a good thing? I don't understand your point TBH. @Faket @siegi @fediversereport This is false. Establishing a convention may be a cool idea, but it adds nothing to security or "making anything clear". Subdomains mean nothing in terms of validation of legitimacy. @inventor @siegi @fediversereport Are you suggesting that it's not better to have a [social|mastodon|toot|whatever].admin.ch than any other random root domain? @Faket @siegi @fediversereport It makes no difference. |
@Faket @siegi @fediversereport
What I am saying is that you or anyone who is not the government could register any domain similar to a domain that a legit governmental organization uses, i.e. mimic it, and then create a "social." subdomain to lure fools.
Example: social.govern.ment.eu being created by the owner of ment.eu is totally plausible.
It will happen if this idea that "subdomains mean something" takes roots.
