If you're thinking of creating a Fedi site, I strongly recommend avoiding a .com, .net, .org, .info, .us, or .edu domain name.
You want to avoid U.S. jurisdiction entirely, which means choosing a domain name, registrar, and web hosting provider located outside of it.
I personally recommend the following domain extensions: .be (Belgium), .nl (Netherlands), .is (Iceland), .ch (Switzerland), .at (Austria), and finally, .tw (Taiwan).
All of these countries have strong protections for freedom of speech, including speech that defends and promotes minority rights — such as LGBTQ+ rights. Domain registration is open to everyone... You don’t need to be a citizen or own a business in any of these countries.
No solution is 100% perfect, but at this moment, we can say with confidence that the USA, China, and Russia are not ideal choices.
