FWIW, the first question unlocks certain things, like how welcome you would be at certain domain registrars known for privacy (like ultra-far-right US ones that generally only like you if you align with the Gab/Parler crowd) vs how welcome you would be at certain "ultra-liberal copyleft-supporting" registrars.
I was not meaning to ask that for the sake of asking, as there are a few privacy-minded registrars that simultaneously also do the whole "we do not support hate speech" in PR, which changes the customer base or what you would want to host there.
A very common concept in these is picking the other side instead; like if you were posting negative sentiments against Russia/etc, the US would probably be happy to host your "free speech", while same for the opposite.
> North America, though I would probably pick a non-specific TLD anyways.
Be very careful on this, because ccTLDs do not have any/all the protections some gTLDs do.
For your curiosity, my reason for asking the country is that some will allow trolls to do things like file false DMCAs, for example, while this concept would not exist in others.
- johnny_b_g 6y agoFirst off: thanks a lot for the extra info/context, as it gives me (and others) things to also consider that I hadn't - I appreciate it, as I'm sure others do. As I eluded to earlier, I'm not considering doing anything 'high risk' for myself; this has been more of a thought exercise for me of scenarios to consider - like some random benign post of mine somewhere being totally misinterpreted and leading to a small hoard of trolls trying to be a nuisance. Essentially, exploring the best ways and solutions to try to mitigate any chances of being doxxed (which I realized I should have also stated in my original post). Thanks again.
