ABOUT THE .IO DOMAIN KERFUFFLE
this is one of those intersectional moments, many of you white folks in #tech need to learn from

not only is the .IO a geolocated internet TLD based on British colonial territories;
the whole origin and dispossession of Chagos people is a read:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chagos…

what makes .IO extra sketchy is the creation of the domain itself:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.io

so, .IO LITERALLY exists for EU/USA capitalists to profiteer from slavery, colonialism & genocide.
