Earlier quoted context omitted.

Which one would that be??

https://abc.xyz/

Nobody accesses that. Everybody goes to their .com domain name, everybody still refers to them as Google instead of Alphabet.

I had to switch from textgenerator.app.nz to https://text-generator.io it's because facebook randomly blocked my entire app.nz + subdomains from being shared on facebook.

I have no idea why app.nz is blocked, its a shame because there's some free products i've been building there to help kids read (readingtime.app.nz) and their creativity (joydrop.app.nz).

Maybe the app.nz domain was used for bad things before i bought it, that's my only stab in the dark at why they might have blocked it. Moving domains could help in these situations where you have been false positive flagged then obliterated by some internet police style company e.g. FAANG or stripe etc.
