About .social

.social was launched in 2014 as part of the new-gTLD round, originally by Donuts and now operated by Identity Digital after the 2020 Donuts-Afilias merger. The intent is plain: a TLD aimed at social networks, community platforms, and people-centered services.

It gained renewed attention starting in 2022 when Mastodon instances and other decentralized-social-network projects adopted .social as a thematic match. Many fediverse server operators now use a .social as their primary domain.
