I got my (uncommon but not rare) surname and country code, similar to for example smith.uk, so I can have an email address like (but not exactly) john@smith.uk. That’s good enough for me.
I would like to do this with .com but has been held for several years so went with a newer TLD. It's mostly been fine aside from occasional person whose mail provider sends me to spam or the very few who block me outright.
I think you'd loose ownership over the domain because you own it explicitly to take it hostage before facebook.
And because they have a trademark I think they could seize it.
Probably except if you have something like the matching initials or other reasons for why you'd have a right to it.

There was some talk awhile back about openning up the TLDs to allow things like "dot"
I would love http://dot.dot/

Not my bag, but I reckon hent.ai would be a popular niche.

It covers both Hentai and AI fans! I'm scared of Elon Musk buying it and using it for himself.

I won't say it publicly or someone will take it! But I don't like this pay to win domain system we have now anyway

My surname ends the letters ai, I'm tempted to get my surname as a domain to do exactly what you did, but .ai domains are so expensive...

fb.com. I bet I could make a fortune selling that domain to Facebook.

I hate to break this to you but they've had it for decades. fb.com rewrites to facebook.com
tias@discuss.tchncs.de · 14 pts · 275d
Yeah, but I want it.

But I don't know if that is true.

Make up a name and host a small browser game. Like the Fable Beagles Game. Problem solved
