The registrar in question is iwantmyname, so I guess you can add them to your "do not use" list.

I feel like it's better to have a "do use" list for something as important as a domain name registrar. - Namecheap - Cloudflare - Route 53 (if on AWS) Any others?

OVH is pretty good

Route 53 is outrageously expensive for domains, one should only use it, if they need AWS’s DNS product.

Namecheap has horrendous billing UI with their products, also not PDF so makes it hard for freelancers when you have many domains and your accounts want an PDF. Easiest is a registrar that mails you invoices in PDF.

their billing works just fine, i pay with it all the time.

They support credit/debit cards, bitcoin, and Paypal. I went with Namecheap especially because of their seamless payment method, Used to struggle at times paying for my domains with Gandi, etc.

Namecheap payment system works just fine.

"Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain" One registrar off the list of registrars you wanna use.

They used to be really good, independent registrar from New Zealand but I think got acquired sometime a few years ago and went down hill.

How many other domains were knocked off by this AI reporting? Seems to me that if you make claims that have business repercussions, you need to be suable for fraud and face civil and possible criminal complaints.

Slight off topic but interesting that the post has similar interaction stats (replies and reposts/quotes) between Twitter and Bluesky except the likes which are 3x higher on the former https://files.catbox.moe/82x7ue.jpeg

Luckily with Bluesky you can link to a post and everyone can see the replies.
