Two letters TLD like .io are ISO country codes. Catalonia’s .cat is a generic TLD in comparison. Since .io stands for the British Indian Ocean Territory and Chagos Island isn’t going to be ‘separate’ anymore by becoming part of Mauritius, IANA’s logic is that the ccTLD has to be retired. That .su is still around after the collapse of USSR isn’t a valid argument for them.

I enjoy occasional co-op gaming with people I know personally. Faceless strangers teabagging me and throwing racist insults like raging 13 year olds who just got addicted to Mountain Dew? No thanks bud, I’d rather spend an entire day scrolling through Netflix catalogues without actually watching them or something.
