      Well, a .com is a CP/M binary file introduced in ~1975, whereas the TLD wasn’t introduced until 1985. So, put that in your pipe and smoke it. 😝

        Yeah that’s weird too. So would a TLD of .txt or .doc or can you imagine a TLD of .html?

        They’re all weird just to various degrees.

        Why would you want .d as a TLD? To me it would just be weird and confusing.

          .a, .b, .c…

          Why are they limiting us? Seems like ICANN has an unfair position.

          Someone should start a competing dns that allows domain registrations with single letter domains.

          That’s kind of how .onion works (for dns)
