Altneratively: You're spending that $12 to register a well known corporate site that just changed domains and their old domain is up for sale.

You buy the old domain, throw up a site that looks like the old site, and now you have hundreds of thousands of people using your site as though it was the real one and any information they put in the site is yours.

Plot twist:

Private equity buys your registrar and jacks up the renewal price 5x.

I don’t like this post.

Delete this. Now.

I haven’t felt this targeted in some time.

Why you gotta do this to me

You can take stronk.bond from my cold dead hands.

Never give up the domain. I've let several go that I wish I still had. They only get more valuable, like real estate.

RIP stinkfist.org

$1/month isn't bad though.

If you don't, you'll pay a lot more to get it back if you ever want to

I finally added at least something to puter.group. It had almost been a year.

Can someone please validate my decision to pay $23 a year for this dumb corndog.social domain just so I had something fun for my Lemmy instance.

damn this one headshotted me. ouch

I said hey man nice shot.

New button: new dream to maybe kill off next year

Buying a nice domain and it actually being used is such a good feeling

Brutal. Savage. Rekt.
