I have, once again, expanded my list of domain extensions I would recommend:

.am (Armenia)
.at (Austria)
.be (Belgium)
.bz (Belize)
.cc (Cocos Islands)
.ch (Switzerland)
.co (Colombia)
.cz (Czech Republic)
.dk (Denmark)
.fi (Finland)
.ge (Georgia)
.is (Iceland)
.li (Liechtenstein)
.me (Montenegro)
.nl (Netherlands)
.nu (Niue)
.se (Sweden)
.to (Tonga)
.tv (Tuvalu)
.tw (Taiwan)
.ws (Samoa)

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.

Occasionally, during my free time, I have been generating a list of Fedi sites, that use non-US domain names.

Generally speaking, assuming they're wise enough to also use non-US hosting (as everyone should), that can place them outside U.S. Jurisdiction.

I would also add an optional, alternative:

.de (Germany, with registrar help * )

* Germany technically allows anyone with verified contact details within the country to register a domain. Many registrars offer this as a service. However, you should ensure your domain registrar is located outside U.S. jurisdiction.

The excellent @openrightsgroup 20th birthday conversation between @pluralistic and @mariafarrell started with the #OpenTech panel discussion which led to ORG's founding. It featured Cory, me, Rufus Pollock, and @danny 😎

An #ORG friend has dug out the video! I've uploaded it to #Peertube here: https://p.lu/w/fE5rfqD2YVjjTCczEAaPjy
