ICANN accredited registrar Hydra's domain redirects to a namecheap parking lot. Brilliant. There's so many broken domains and certificates in this official list. Appalling level of governance.
My registrar login list just fractured into a domain block list for what I'm going to mark as shitshows.
ICANN is raising prices again
｢ ICANN would like to adjust the variable accreditation fees starting 1 July 2025 (the start of the
next ICANN fiscal year) by removing the 10% reduction on such fees put in place in 2010 to
incentivize the early adoption of the 2009 Registrar Accreditation Agreement. The yearly fixed
accreditation fee will remain the same ｣

@landley @jschauma @ryanc @0xabad1dea I think redistributing the /8 subnets that #DoD holds hostage would've been a strategy, alas I do expect the Orange Tyrant to fuck up the #Internet by messing up #IANA & #ICANN, breaking it with #cyberfacism…
Too many uplifting news, so here comes a bleak question:
Since #ICANN is still a corporation in the USA, subject to US Law and Jurisdiction, what is the worst case scenario if the Human Cheeto decides to weaponize it?
I expect @quinta and maybe @lorenzofb to have a good understanding of such matters, among the ones I follow, but please everyone feel free to pitch in.
At the 82nd ICANN meeting in Seattle in March 2025, Amazon unveiled its vision for a personalized extension with its .amazon.
On our blog, Marion Carrier analyzes this innovative strategy and highlights the benefits of a well-managed digital presence https://www.afnic.fr/en/observatory-and-resources/expert-papers/amazon-and-its-personalised-internet-domain-eyes-fixed-firmly-on-the-future/
people in the #IT field should start referring to ICANN as "mother" same way people back in the day refereed to the Bell Telephone Company as "Ma Bell" back when they had a monopoly. ICANN is the modern equivalent as they hold a monopoly on the Internet's naming system.
Forum software, allows for you to change domain names.
That is something Fediverse software, truly, should work on.

If you're thinking of starting a website, it would be best for you to pick a country level domain extension, as opposed to a word-based domain extension.
Corporations can be bought, sold, influenced, regulated, and shutdown, overnight. If avoiding Donald Trump's possible madness is your goal, you don't want to be back into a corner with Corporate America.

Many people, unfortunately, do not read legal documentation. It has become human nature to simply click "OK, I agree".
If more folks did read their terms of services, you would know word-based domain name extensions are not managed the same way as normal with the protection of ICANN.
As it stands now, if Donald Trump really lost his mind, he could shut down much of the Fediverse.

@gharbeia @aral @EUCommission I mean, #OpenNIC works as an alternative rootzone, and #NameDotSpace allegedly failed at sueing #ICANN for their monopoly.
As for #certificates, @cacert iron'd out that ages ago...
