TIL about Soviet Union top-level domain - .su (: (lemmygrad.ml)

I just found out about the official top-level Soviet Union domain that is still in use today!

It seems that since 2022 you can't register new .su domain names and it's future is uncertain. Still, I think it's cool that it exsits to this day (:

A nice example would be that sovietwave internet radio: https://sovietwave.su/

Just a curiosity I wanted to share with me comrades

Unfortunately it might be phased out in 2030.

So what you’re saying is we need to bring the USSR back before 2030 to keep the domain. Got it.

Finally, a hard deadline

Let's do it, tavarisch! 🫡

Why bother getting rid of it (other than political reasons)? If even one website is using it, getting rid of it would hurt them.

Also it bothers me that despite “.us” existing, the United States uses .com or .gov as to state that the US is the “standard”.

They decided to get rid of it in 2022, so zero reasons except political, crackers are still salty about USSR + extreme russophobia

I always think about the way the internet would've developed if the Soviet Union kept existing

[–] SovietCinnamon@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 3 months ago

I think there would be less pop-ups! (;

But on a serious side, yeah, same...

I knew about the domain, but never knew a website that used it, and the one you linked is a Sovietwave one, cool!

[–] FuckBigTech347@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 months ago

There are a couple websites that use it. Others that come to mind are http://leningrad.su/ (no HTTPS) and https://sovnet.su/

How does a domain become restricted?

[–] signofzeta@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 3 months ago

There is a new policy for all country TLD’s that, when said country stops existing, that TLD will be phased out within 5-10 years.

[–] pappabosley@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Can you let Ubiquiti know? Cause it doesn't appear in their TLD list to block, even though it kept notifying me that my sons phone was periodically reaching out to a .su URL

What do you mean?
