they key difference between .com and .io is that .com stands for "commercial" and .io stands for "indian ocean" - a territory which was occupied
the association is stronger because the occupation of indian ocean territory translated directly into occupation of the .io domain.

- the-smug-one 4y agoIt would've been good if the article brought up the real consequences of buying an .io domain, outside of pure optics for those who are in the know. Supporting ethos, I guess?
- p-e-w 4y agoNobody associates ".io" with "(British) Indian Ocean (Territory)". People associate it with "Input/Output", which is why it's so popular with tech websites. Did you know that .com used to be run by the United States DoD, an organization that regularly commits atrocities that make what happened on Diego Garcia look tame by comparison? And that literally the entire Internet is a byproduct of US military research? And that simply paying taxes in the UK funds the same institutions that are responsible for the forced relocation of the Chagossians?
