It’s not hard to see why .ORG rattled so many cages. It seems like there’s a lot of passive anger of old school vs new money, even now in 2020. Thinking about domains, it doesn’t take too long to get into the politics of property.
How do you think domain names should work?
Should you just be able to buy them openly? If one person has all the money, then should they be allowed to buy all the domain names?
Should they be limited to some sensible amount per person? Is a company a person? Should companies be limited in the same way?
If there is a limit, should the price be capped as well, or left open to the market? Those with the most money get to control the best domains?
Personally: I am grateful that we still have a system that works for all and I’m very motivated to not see it go the way of rampant commercialism. Mozilla’s post helps me proselytize.
