What a waste of domain space (yes, I know they're abundant, but still.) areweaudioyet.com says nothing about its contents. areweasyncyet.rs had the right idea with the .rs domain name, but anyways, I feel like all of these would be better organized on one wiki, with one list for each category. Easier to search, edit, and hyperlink.

Who cares? There’s virtually infinite opportunities for domain names - unless you think there are better, more legitimate uses for the phrase “are we audio yet?” And it’s not like domain abandonment isn’t already handled by ICANN.
When I click a link, I want to know where I'm going. Where do you think "arewesmoothyet.com" will take you? If you guessed some Mozilla related thing purely from context, well you're also wrong. It's actually some WFH/affiliate marketing course. This was my point; domains are expensive and temporary for people who don't care. Because of this stupid joke, people actually interested in "Firefox Nightly hang telemetry visualization" or whatever have nowhere to go. One wiki, one page per topic, is all you need.
Also about half of the domains are down at this point...the smart one hoated itself on github.
The Republic of Serbia is probably async enough already…
Most would agree with you. This is not pleasant.
areweconsolidatedyet is clearly missing from the list
AreWeMetaYet however is there.
