    Lemmy as far as I can tell is mostly dup posts and blind links, especially links to youtube. The absence of Spez is of course priceless, but otherwise Lemmy is duller than plenty of single-issue blogs or forums, or even the still-decaying corpse of Usenet. That article is about Mastodon, which has a different crowd than Lemmy does. I’m not big on the “follower” model though, so I’m not there very much.

    I’ve been using porkbun and they never asked my ID. Maybe it’s specific to the .xyz TLD? That surprises me but the domain you wanted are super cheap, so maybe they attract spammers. .xyz is somewhat disreputable anyway.

    This is actually the first time I had heard of the 6-9 digit .xyz domains being discounted (.99/year). That was not mentioned on porkbun’s .xyz page, but web search found info. For those unaware, those domains register and renew at $0.99/year at some registrars, though $1.24 at porkbun.

    And lol, almost everything I could think of related to mathematical constants were unavailable, e.g. 61803399.xyz. Some random ones were available and maybe I’ll try to buy one just to see what happens.

    I wonder if porkbun suddenly requires ID for all domain purchases? That would be annoying. It’s been a while since I last bought from them.
