If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.

'.io vanity domains are colonialism' is going to be sticking with me for A While
it is even more than just 'its people buying domains from BIOT', since what is 'land' online but domains?
so you can't have, say, chart.io now that a startup claimed it, even if you're a chart company in BIOT. It's true for basically every national TLD people use for fuckin' puns.
