Changes coming to Netlify site URLs: .com to .app

hi all, I’m sorry to hear about these reports listing us as malicious. Of course we are as concerned about this as you are (if not more) and we are trying to work with the companies in question to fix this situation.

The problem arises because Netlify is, for many people, a free service, and so spammers and people looking to host illegal websites use us. When those sites get flagged as spam, it affects how search engines and large social media sites treat us. It is, ultimately, the fault of malicious people looking to abuse our service which is bad for everyone :face_with_head_bandage:

The solution is for us to keep working with twitter, google, etc but this is a bit of a long winded process, as these are huge sites. nevertheless we are doing everything we can as fast as we can to improve things.

You can help us by using this form for Twitter: Spam

For Linkedin, we think you can use this form: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/ask/TS-RPS to indicate that the site isn’t spam.

If enough people tell twitter that .app sites aren’t all spam, this will help speed things up.

Thank you for your patience as we keep working on this. If there are any big changes we will post here, but you can also let us know if things improve. :pray:
