- treve 9y agoIt's a real problem because a lot of folks do this and it's going to frustrate a few of them. However, this is also a great reminder for everyone to never make up your own TLDs.
- abritinthebay 9y agoIt was a really bad practice that, for some reason, got really really popular - so especially in the Ruby community and it's derived branches - but it was still always a bad idea to make up your own domains for testing. So it isn't exactly a shock that this bad practice is going to bite its users. I think the reason it's getting headlines is why it's biting those users now, all at once.
