Google sunsets Domains business

Note to self: don’t trust Google ever again. Any recommendations for a new domain registrar?

I just closed my Twitter account and I’m alright, thanks for asking. I didn’t post very often, but I did follow some friends and journalists there so that made me a semi-active user, I guess. After Twitter, I’m not sure what’s next. I have a Mastodon account that I’ve been...
