Since the site is the one that made the title, they are inconsistent in how they describe the services.
One way to define a distinction is to look at liability and legal standing. Do users under eu.org have any rights, and if there is abuse, how much legal liability do eu.org have? To take an example, HN users can be kicked out of here at the whims of ycombinator. TLD's usually don't do that and generally require a court decisions before a persons domain can be taken away (assuming fees have been paid).
- dizhn 4y agoThey are indeed using the name interchangibly. I guess what I meant to say is they are not claiming to be providing a proper TLD when they aren't. I guess it doesn't matter much in practice and that's why people in this thread are using it interchangibly too.
