They could get a .ck domain instead and move to queer.as.fu.ck, no?
.ck is only available as subdomains - including the hilarious, co.ck.
Wouldn't that need them to get the
fu.ckdomain itself? I have a feeling that is already used by someone else, but there currently isn't any website at that domain (doesn't mean it isnt used)Worst hypothesis they just need to mess around a bit. For example I don't think that
queerasfu.ckwould be registered.Activitypub makes it next to impossible to "move" an instance to a new domain.
Every post/comment/and user is uniquely identified using the domain. In the eyes of ActivityPub changing the domain just makes each of those things a completely new thing.
You can set up a new service at your new domain and potentially get most all your users to migrate but they'll be leaving behind their entire histories and as a "new" fediverse user they'll only be discoverable via the historical posts for as long as the original server is reachable.
Yes, that was a big issue for fmhy.ml too
