Woot! I can access startrek.website from work again! Thanks for reporting it. We also use Fortinet.

To be fair, the .website TLD basically screams "I AM SPAM"

@beefcat @Overboard8171 I didn't know that. This the first time I've legitimately intended to go to a website that is a .website TLD now that you mention it though...

Too bad, seems like a solid TLD. I guess .app,.social,.world - those I see all the time.

Personally my favorite is .lol websites.

I believe it screams, "this is an establishment of refined taste."

I think it's broadcasting "join our webring and sign our guestbook!"

I admit, I’m having really weird flashbacks to usenet and the early-internet days with this proliferation of weird TLDs and subdomains coming into use for lemmy instances. Or maybe IRC.

(It’s weird, because I’m just a touch too young to have used usenet.)

What’s old is new again, I guess.

It could just be because it's a new domain. My nextdns setup was blocking it because of that.

I’m pretty sure my university blocks it for some reason too. I think they just don’t know what it is.

The world just isn't ready for us yet.
