Most gTLDs do not fail because of awareness.
They fail because of distribution design.
Registrar presence is exposure.
Embedded workflows are strategy. ⚙️

🚨 Early #gTLD string announcements ahead of ICANN 2026 opening.
But press releases don’t create priority.
They create signals.
📣 Deterrence - or invitation?
💰 Advantage - or auction risk?

The Technical Gauntlet
#ICANN decides if your gTLD is safe to launch - or stopped cold.
DNS rules. Similarity risks. Binding commitments.

Unfortunately, *.tech is now my identity, thank you #atproto (sarcasm), otherwise I would do the same
I wish there were more tech-coops and they could manage the GTLD reservation. Domain prices are just going to keep going up across #gTLD s unless there some down pressure here
Fun fact: A not insignificant amount of so called "gTLDs" so "generic TLDs“, ie .capital .space .plumbing are managed by the registry of the company „donuts inc“.
Yours sincerely
