These alternative domains are quite popular with the fediverse and other hobbyist-run groups. Affordable domains with somewhat recognisable names still available.

Scam websites will use any TLD in my experience. Based on the ones that made it to my Google search results, .it and .info are the TLDs I should be blocking. When I search for "free roblox cash", most websites are .com. "Free robux" also brings forth a few .ca websites. "Free steam gift card" leads to .org and .com.

Aren't they only affordable for the first year though?

I don’t know about most of them, but I’ve used .pw for many years for most of my domains as pw is really cheap even on renewal.

$2 per month isn't cheap for a domain per se, but compared to .ht or .ao or .ly it's still cheap.

TLDs like .stream, .click, .top, and .link are cheap in general, even compared to .com

My all time favorite Fediverse domain is jorts.horse. That’s the most delightfully random thing.

this looks exactly like every mastodon instance I ever saw.
