Lol right, OP's comment reminds me of a time I saw a dude arguing with someone on Facebook and his position was that only highly trusted research institutes can have dot org domains and if a website on a dot org domain says something then no matter what anyone else says it has to be the true and correct way.
So I registered his <first name><last name>.org and put "<first name> <last name> is an idiot." in just a single <h1> and deployed it.
He ended up deleting all his comments and blocking me but holy shit was it glorious. Best $10 I ever wasted.
- ghaff 4y agoA lot of people are way too ready to believe that meaningful gatekeeping exists on the internet and the modern world more generally whether it's dot-org, publishing a book, publishing on Medium, having a slick website, etc.
- ozim 4y agoFun or maybe not that fun part is - people believe there is meaningful gatekeeping in courts/police enforcement/law. Lets say for most part all goes well because most of the time people want to do the right thing and are not assholes. Well might be that other people in general are not all assholes - just that quite a lot are but not most :)
- JohnFen 4y agoI disagree. That $10 was absolutely not wasted.
