The admin stated they won’t be renewing the domain because .af is now controlled by the Taliban.

What alternatives are there? Just the big .org, .com, .net ones?
Nope. The ones you’re mentioned are gTLD (generic top-level domain) but most of the other domains are generic TLD too. See here for the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains
Just don’t use country-code TLDs because they can removed by those countries. For example fmhy.ml and now queer.af.
Just use
.net
or so. Or make it dependent on where you host, so.fi
or.de
or.us
or whatever. TLDs aren’t just for lulz, and getting specific country ones just for “funny” combinations just leads to stuff like this happening.No need to limit yourself to US tld’s, country ones for funny domains can be stable as well. My domain koffie.nu (coffee.now in Dutch), registered in '98, is still going strong. I just hope the rising sealevel won’t wipe away the country any time soon.
