why 😔
I wanted a name that was shorter, easier to understand and more recognisable.
I honestly like it more. I find .io domains pretty cool
Honestly, for the better. I always read the old one as anon-a-daddy which just felt like a trashy porn site lol
Yeah same lol
.io
is a ccTLD though and is subject to the whims of the British Indian Ocean Territory. They can, for any reason, remove domains. See what recently happened with Mali and.ml
.Doubt they will. It’s used for way less illegal shit then .ml was. And, for most domain names, a .io is really fucking pricy (2x +)
IIRC there’s an ongoing dispute between the British Indian Ocean Territory government and the British company that manages the .io zone. If the former wins the dispute there may well be changes.
A similar thing happened to Notion, with their .so domain. The issue was then resolved, but the whole service went offline for a while

Will I have to change all my emails now or will the old domains continue to be supported?
No need to change
I had to swap to simple login because most of addy domains got banned by multiple companies and can’t register users
