.cat

The .cat TLD has some unusual requirements. Toot.Cat attempts to satisfy these requirements via the following:

• We run the Mastodon software (our primary mission), whose interface is available in Catalan.
• We collect information about Catalonia as it comes our way.
• We are interested in making space for content related to Catalonia and/or Catalan.

Non-Catal* .cat domains

There are a number of other .cat domains currently being used for purposes that are not focused on Catalonia or Catalan; as with TootCat, their primary means of satisfying the requirements appears to be that they provide Catalan as an interface language:

• high.cat: another Mastodon instance
• http.cat
• nyan.cat

Notes

Mastodon user Sam Toland notes that the .cat admins used to be much stricter, but have now loosened enforcement a bit.
