Oct 7, 2026, 6:29 PMinteresting, @dotmeow were the only applicants for a ".meow" TLD, seems almost crazy given the sheer number of applications ICANN published for all sorts of strings. Funnily enough, ".furry" was applied for by @dotfurry of course, but also a Porkbun subsidiary who, in their application, also explicitly dedicated it to the furry community. But their application is "deactivated", so they aren't interested anymore I think. Hmm!

@cato our understanding of this is that Oinkadot listed .furry as a replacement string as part of their application for .queen. All their replacement strings appear to be fandom-related, but our primary string application had no other primary applicants so there is no contention.
