This is a good thing IMO. There are hundreds of great TLDs [1] just sitting there that can help ease the gold rush and squatting problem with .com domains, but are not favored because historically non-.com websites have been associated with scams and low effort content rather than established brands. Hopefully more and more legit startups out there with a .horse their name will finally normalize such domains.

I completely agree.

Back when the first wave of quirky TLDs was created, I remember a fair amount of HN users insisting there was no use case for them [0]. But I always thought our sense of normal would shift as time went on and new sites and apps became popular.
