  • Porkbun! There are many to pick from but from my experience Porkbun includes everything you need out of the box at no additional cost. Namecheap has very good first year deals, but after that it almost doubles in price.

    Which registrar you pick initially doesn’t matter too much. I started with Namecheap then moved to Porkbun after a year with them (Completely free to move, but you’ll have to buy an extra year if you move tho)

    Don’t use GoDaddy though. I was searching for a domain on that site and after a few minutes it was taken.









  • They could take control of ActivityPub, but we can always create a fork of it if it does get to that point. We can manage without Meta anyway. And suppose Meta controls ActivityPub, it’s still better than the current system where content is locked in a single platform and controlled by solely 1 company.

    Although fostering an open social network is not the intent of Meta, Threads indirectly benefits the concept of federation as a whole by contributing content and making it “mainstream”.

    I think federating isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In the worst case Meta will remove ActivityPub from Threads in the future. Threads federating is an opportunity for regular people to see and understand the Fediverse, and we get to see the more mainstream influencers. If it turns out Threads has malicious intent, defederate and hopefully the backlash will get thread users to migrate to another federated instance.
