.is might be a choice, since archive.is continues to be available despite many legal threats

You don't have to be an Icelandic national to register a .is

[ventegus]

kiwifarms and sci-hub have been kicked off .is

[trollbridge]

Based on that heuristic, .st is a very good domain, as is .gl (which hosts Anna’s-archive’s registration).

[stickfigure]

.st went down for most of a day:

Little TLDs may be poorly run. Would not trust again.

Technical failures are different from procedural ones (didn’t verisign blow up dot com or something years ago?).

The future is domain resiliency - whether that’s via apps or other methods.

I currently check Wikipedia to find out the current domain for sites that are subject to frequent takedowns.

[Chu4eeno]

wikipedia happily censors domains, it's not a free speech community.

[ventegus]

They operate in antiphase: annas-archive.st and sci-hub.gl are suspended.

This couple checked all the domain zones money can buy and... ended up using different sets, with zero intersection

[pixel_popping]

.is is a very resilient TLD indeed, and it's well known in some communities.

[mfkp]

how about .to? that's what i'm mainly using for my url shortener/redirects and haven't run into any issues... yet

[inigyou]

A recent change in .to management gave it the technical ability to take down domains quickly.

[arikrahman]

It's a pretty good heuristic if some of the more targeted communities choose a TLD and stay up for some time.

ospf-vs-is.is

[bombcar]

Imagine getting kicked off .isis

[inigyou]

.isis would fall under US jurisdiction so that would be easy. They're very censor-happy in the US.
