Interesting, thanks for clarifying! Looks like I live in an environment where this is not a thing. Or I'm not aware of it. I'm also not in the USfor what it's worth.
You don't notice it because as soon as somebody steps out of line they are erased. my root comment has been flagged and nobody else will even see it.

Domain registration has to be renewed, either per year or per years if you buy a bunch of licenses up front. So what's the alternative to this then? A lot of domains can cost around $20 per year.
It is totally reasonable to charge a recurring fee for providing an ongoing service, but to be clear you are not buying a domain that needs registration. You are buying a subdomain of the domains that this company already owns. Some other sites give those away for free because there is no marginal cost per subdomain.
I would kill to know how many people converted despite these comments.
I've been a happy omg.lol subscriber for years, originally as a fun little joke but it's actually pretty useful and I use my profile as my "link in bio" for twitter and other social sites. The founder, Adam, is a genuinely good dude. He just keeps adding more features and the service gets better and better.
This is around for years and the chewbacca.omg.lol and the lukeskywalker.omg.lol are still available to snatch?! Omg!
Am I dreaming? There seems to be something weird about this post and its comments.
It defo screams astro-turfing. This post is filled with sock puppets who think this weird service is worth $20 and are completely ignoring all the downsides.
For me it could be worth it just to explore what's available, how it works.
If you live in poverty then it might be too steep. I'd recommend checking out eu.org for free domains.

You really have no interest in the concept of a non-corporate / non–billionaire-controlled Twitter? Not trying to bait you, but genuinely curious on your stance.
Not parent commenter but; I personally don't have any interest in what you described. Especially when it's something like mastodon, which is inferior in almost every aspect. - All clients are straight up bad but this is mostly personal opinion. - I don't want to maintain and pay for a personal instance - On public instances there is always the risk of the admins deciding not to run it anymore without notice. In that…
I get that is quite a UX/UI problem. However, given what is now known about FAANG and big tech corp, I would rather have my data unreliable and use bad UX/UI for online exchange then to use the mainstream big corp platforms. Personally I don't want to be a product.
I expected to hate this and walked away thinking it was a pretty ok idea. Good job! The idea of curating alternate services together and offering it as a product feels novel - does anyone else do this? I'd love to see hosting offered for curated open source services that are interoperable. Sort of like all those WordPress hosts of yore (and today!). Edit: omg.lol, is it AOL?? :D Edit 2: The price is even the same! $1…
You get a surprising amount of functionality for $20. I just got an account and I've been poking around for about an hour. I'm seriously impressed. You get: - a webpage - DNS - email forwarding - a statuslog - url shortener - a pastebin - a weblog - an optional Mastodon account - optional IRC/Discord - and probably some more stuff I missed And all of this stuff is much more configurable than it would typically be on…
And Fastmail. Fastmail is to programmers what Superhuman is for salespeople.

What is so great about fastmail? I keep hearing people talk about it but haven’t “gotten it” yet.
