Why is it that every shitty bigoted fedi instance seems to follow one of the same three naming conventions

re: meta
@joepie91 consistency is key 🥴
re: meta
@joepie91 I've often thought I could train a Bayes filter to recognize shithole fedi instances just by domain name
re: meta
@jordan Yeahhhh
re: meta
@joepie91 Because they want to be able to find each other.

@joepie91 which three? (total layperson here)
re: meta
@StroomAfwaarts Well, more like four, I guess:
1. Trying to sound cutesy but actually sounds like a creep (eg. asbestos dot cafe, coolsite dot win)
2. Outright fascist/macho-sounding names (eg. stormcloak dot info, zyzzsupremacy dot xyz)
3. Weird "Japanese-inspired" names
4. Dodgy sounding domain hacks (eg. bae dot st)

@joepie91 right??
