It’s $20/mo, and a lot of people are eager to spend it so it should be subject to due criticism.

It's $20 per year, not per month... and there are promo codes for $5/year available most of the time. I don't use the site but browsed the guy's mastodon feed.

I stand corrected, but ICANN names are cheaper.

Anyone can start their own omg.lol with a $10/yr domain name, and charge others for OSS and basic features you can find elsewhere for free. It's a scam to those who criticize it, and it's a privileged club to those who pay the money.

But the social circle is polluted with brains who think this is a good deal, so it's not the kind of network I'd even want to be on.
