One of the biggest problems people have when self-hosting their own mail servers is delivery issues because the big email providers don't trust your server. The goal with the share…

Enabling digital sovereignty for individuals is our foundational motivating principle!

The fee will fall on us to pay and the gTLD application window is open and our application is in progress. Yes we are crowdfunding (there is a donation link on our website and in t…

Exactly this, the goal is to design a TLD according to human-centered principles. That is, we are assuming (and enforcing) that every endpoint using this domain will be some relati…

That is a fair criticism, however I would say that the reason we are going for the TLD now is because now is the only time we can do it. The last round of TLD applications was in 2…

Scam comment deleted.

For this application round, ICANN is running an Applicant Support Program, or ASP. The applicants seeking to apply for a TLD this round who qualify for the ASP will have a substant…

Yes, one of the key principles we follow is that all the perks we aim to provide must come with some limit to prevent abuse.

The point is that you are your own hosting provider! We are trying to cater to self-hosters so our goal is to make it as easy as possible for someone with their own homelab to get …

> In that case it was started by an institution (mozilla) with a lot of heft in the area (mozilla's CA program is one of the most broadly used) and was backed by other orgs (google…

We plan to operate a shared mail server than can be used by users of the domain and we will work to ensure it is trusted by imposing usage limits. We will assume that every endpoin…

We did not expect this level of response, it should be reachable now.

We are probably going to reserve some of the more obvious ones for specific purposes, e.g. my.self automatically pointing to a homepage on your local network. As we go through the …

We don't necessarily, however there are many benefits for doing so. We could simply purchase a domain and then build our initiative beneath it but then everything we do would be be…

Indeed, this response is way more than we expected. Trying to set up a web cache now.

This is an idea at this point, the next round of gTLD applications is currently open and we are in the process of applying and we are trying to garner support!

Indeed that appears to be so O_O. Our site is of course self-hosted, this is quite the response. Will have to troubleshoot what the bottleneck is!
