minus-squareAllNewTypeFace@leminal.spacelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoI wonder who’ll end up buying the archive.org domain and what they’ll use it for
minus-squarenorimee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoThe archive isn’t completely dead with that yet. There is still a lot of free domain stuff and private uploads on there. A lot of public records too. And I think you can’t just randomly buy a .org domain, can you? You have to be officially a nonprofit. I remember for example couchsurfing had to change from a .org to .com when their tax exempt status was rejected by the irs and they went for profit.
minus-squarecalebegg@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoYou definitely can just buy a .org, I own multiple.
minus-squareTodd Bonzalez@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months ago The archive isn’t completely dead with that yet. They’ve just been sued into almost certain bankruptcy. And I think you can’t just randomly buy a .org domain, can you? You have to be officially a nonprofit. lol, no. .org just means “organization”. There are literally no rules on who can own one. 4chan is a .org domain…
minus-squarebamfic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoHorse shit. I have had several org domains, some for over 20 years now, and never been a nonprofit
minus-squareyessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoHope somebody buys it and starts using it as an LLM with investors since that’s apparently the only way to avoid a lawsuit
