You may want to find a new TLD for your https://www.okdoomer.io domain

@madiko @cariad @RyunoKi @grifferz This is one of the main reasons why I’m transitioning to a different TLD for email and everything else (my .io is still paid for like a year I think). I’ll bookmark this well detailed article for the next time somebody asks for more details. Thanks for this well-written piece.

Say, #itchio... I don't suppose you're successful enough to be able to, you know, move?

US jurisdiction. I doubt they care.

@RyunoKi @madiko @cariad @grifferz I doubt they even know. I sure didn't.

@madiko Looks like the author received … unwarranted messages once the link appeared on Hacker News:

@me @madiko I dislike it. I mean, I can imagine simpler ways to access a link.

@madiko @cariad @grifferz Thanks for the mention!

I first got aware of it when @eleventy moved to another TLD:

@RyunoKi @madiko @cariad @grifferz @eleventy This blog post was super conveniently put in front of me when I was writing a blog post and needed a reference to why .io was a bad idea. The original article I recall from 2014 was on a tech news site that's long gone.
