Altneratively: You're spending that $12 to register a well known corporate site that just changed domains and their old domain is up for sale.
You buy the old domain, throw up a site that looks like the old site, and now you have hundreds of thousands of people using your site as though it was the real one and any information they put in the site is yours.

There's no reason to think that I'm no longer chasing my dream, that I'm being dragged by it is there? - Marc Maron
Can someone please validate my decision to pay $23 a year for this dumb corndog.social domain just so I had something fun for my Lemmy instance.
Never give up the domain. I've let several go that I wish I still had. They only get more valuable, like real estate.
