The admin stated they won’t be renewing the domain because .af is now controlled by the Taliban.

Could we, like, leave the clickbait headlines to reddit? Thanks. The queer.af admins just decided – wisely – not to renew the domain considering who the fee would go to.
What a bad taste title
Reading that headline scared me. For a moment I thought the instance owner was killed by the Taliban.
Why would you want to use
.af
TLD anyway?They almost certainly picked it just for the joke.
queer.af = Queer AF = Queer as fuck!
It’s like how popular the TLD of Guernsey (.gg) is with gaming websites.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t even realize what country code the TLD was when they registered it.
Same with Twitch.tv, the .tv apparently being the country code for Tuvala.
