The most :3 top-level domain could become real! 100% queer-owned and queer-operated with proceeds funding LGBTQIA+ infrastructure.

I don’t really need a new domain. That said, meow is nice to type as it’s a 50/50 split on the keyboard.
You should try dvorak, then most words are like that.
This isn’t about charity — it’s about building kinship-based infrastructure
This smells so badly of AI-slop.
If their mission is actually real, I hope they succeed. Spending some time writing an article asking people for donations would probably help that. After all, if the can’t be bothered to write it, why should I bother reading it, let alone giving them money for it.
EDIT: OP linked the teams’s response on the topic, it seems they had to adhere to some Kickstarter’s AI-generated templated: https://hachyderm.io/@dotmeow/115757449811208827
They have released a statement about this so rest assured it’s OK.
Thanks for sharing, will include it in my message.
It’s not just X, emdash, it’s Y.
Well, they’re a team of 6 including a dedicated graphic design & marketing person and they’ve produced a video and FAQ too, plus they’ve succeeded at bringing the ICANN application fee down as a non-profit. Yes, “kinship-based infrastructure” rubs me the wrong way too but because it reeks of corporate investor talk, not AI. So I’m pretty sure they did take the time to write the article and every piece of text on the website. Not to mention the legal document (bound by Belgian law) that ensures the money goes towards the stated mission.
I don’t like that a big tech corporation can register .meow too but there’s no avoiding that. Even the Catalan domain, whose purpose is to promote their language and culture, has seen “misuse” such as nyan.cat.
no offence, but your comments give me a strong confirmation bias vibe

Nah. Still, I find them pretentious and prefer en-dashes (which the text is also littered with): 20 em-dashes (—) and 5 en-dashes (–) – counted by my text editor – is just too many.
While I do like.meow, €30 a year is a lot for a domain
Why so much??? I always try to choose the cheapest price with the longest registration period
finally i can have a .meow domain to go with my .cat domain
Not yet, the TLD application needs to be submitted (that’s what costs all that money) and approved, so it will take about 1.5 years if successful.
What’s your 🏴Catalan project BTW?
Why am I so hyped about a (potentially) new TLD
Let’s get in on the gwound flwoor
