- jrflowers 1y agoThose tlds still exist. The existence of butts.adult doesn’t create confusion about oxfam.org
- portaouflop 1y agoYou misled me, butts.adult does in fact not exist.
- jrflowers 1y agoOh wow. That seems like an oversight. Somebody with $400 to burn could either support or refute my point on this matter
- justusthane 1y agoWith some exceptions (.gov, .edu, for example), it has never actually meant anything. Anyone can register a .com, .net, or .org for any purpose.
- hakfoo 1y agoI thought com/net/org had distinct use cases until the early 1990s when it became a free-for-all.
- 9dev 1y agoThat was the idea, but from my memory, people chose their own meaning and conventions pretty much from the start. So much about the internet was envisioned with a completely different use case than what it actually was used for, it’s amazing things even kinda worked out in the end.
