Hey @wogan. I wonder if x.africa exists yet? If not, perhaps you should register it as an alias for mastodon.africa? :-D(Or actually, create a portal there linking to mastodon.africa, pixelfed.africa, peertube.africa... Call it the Federated Social Networks of Africa) :-?

@GrahamDowns It's a neat idea, but it looks like the registrar doesn't allow for single-character domains!

@wogan W-w-whaaaaat?!*does double take*Boo! Hiss!I mean you could registrer x.org.za instead (xorg, heh), but then you'd have to have to register mastodon.org.za as well.Besides, I'm sure x.org.za would be taken already. :P

@GrahamDowns It probably would! And if I'm being honest, I don't really want to have anything to do with "X" (as a social media brand) given who's currently running it. Happy to let someone else roll those particular dice.

@wogan LOL fair enough. Sounds like anyone registering x.anything right now would be a cruisin' for a bruisin' from the Musk's legal team. 😆

@GrahamDowns X is too generic a symbol to copyright or trademark (I think a German clothing brand tried to grab Y at some point), so best of luck to those lawyers enforcing anything.For me, I just genuinely don't want to be associated with Elon or anything he does 🙃

@wogan Oh yeah. I've long ago started denying that he's actually South African. 😉
