Pretty close to true in practice, actually. Yes, some of us have funky domains that we take email at, but it's not like we don't have backup plans.

- Piskvorrr 6y ago"Funky"? These things are two decades old by now. There have been multiple generations of communication protocols since this became standard - and yet still people consider this some weird aberration, even the 4-letter TLDs. Indeed, fallback is still necessary - but it doesn't follow "meh, just go back to the 3-letter maximum, because a lot of people still live in 1999."
- naniwaduni 6y agoI have a 3.2 domain on a ccTLD and even that gets shot down regularly enough that I wouldn't consider using it as a primary address. There should be no excuse for that, ccTLDs are older than a good chunk of the people writing the code excluding them, and yet here we are. Dealing with systems in the wild sucks.
